Mobile apps now depend on real-time camera pipelines more than ever. Whether you're scanning QR codes, running on-device AI, analyzing food labels, previewing AR overlays, or streaming video, smooth, uninterrupted camera frames are absolutely critical. But here's the catch: Mobile devices are unpredictable. CPU spikes, GPU

Introduction: Reliability as a Design Standard At Hoomanely, we design consumer products for real-world home and office environments—where power adapters vary in quality, USB cables get swapped between devices, and static electricity from carpets is an everyday occurrence. Our vBus modular architecture thrives in these conditions through deliberate design

Introduction Choosing the right language model architecture for production is one of the most underrated engineering decisions teams make. Behind every AI feature - from a chatbot response to a search ranking - sits a strategic decision: Should we use an encoder-only model? A decoder-only model? Or a full encoder–
Firmware
In modern embedded platforms, the ability to selectively enable or disable features is more than a convenience—it’s an essential tool for safe rollouts, rapid iteration, and predictable behavior across hardware variants. Firmware today powers ecosystems that span sensors, edge compute, wireless stacks, camera modules, and cloud-connected workflows. In

Picture this: You've just unboxed your new smart device. No screen, no buttons, no USB port. How do you tell it your WiFi password? This seemingly simple problem has frustrated IoT teams and users for years. The solution? Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) acting as a temporary bridge to
Software
At small scale, an internal event bus feels magical. One team adds “user.session.started”, another listens and fires analytics, another triggers notifications. No coordination meeting, no new REST endpoints, just vibes. Fast-forward a year: You’ve got dozens of topics, half a dozen “user.*” events, multiple schemas for “pet.

Introduction: One Button, Many Possibilities At Hoomanely, we design products that are powerful yet intuitive. Our vBus-based systems pack sophisticated functionality into compact modules, but we've always believed that complex capability shouldn't require complex interaction. This philosophy led us to adopt the LTC2955 PushButton On/Off

When engineers talk about Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), the conversation often starts at embeddings, chunking, or vector databases. But the uncomfortable truth is this: RAG quality is bottlenecked by OCR quality. If the extracted text is noisy, fragmented, or wrongly segmented, no embedding model - no matter how powerful - can

The first LLM integration is usually simple: you pick one provider, one model, one API key, and ship. The second and third are where things start to hurt. Suddenly you have a “cheap” model for bulk tasks, a “smart” model for critical flows, maybe a vision model, maybe a provider

Social feeds are the backbone of modern community apps—but they're also notorious performance bottlenecks. Users expect Instagram-level smoothness while scrolling through hundreds of posts, instant responses to interactions, and seamless offline access. The challenge? Delivering all of this without burning through device resources or overwhelming your backend.
