Decoding Pet Emotions: When a Weekend ML Project Becomes a Real Product

This project demonstrates how accessible machine learning has become—building a pet emotion classifier in a weekend using lightweight tools like TensorFlow Lite and FastAPI. Beyond the technical achievement, it addresses a genuine consumer problem: pet owners often misinterpret their animal's behavior and either over-medicate or under-react. What started as a learning exercise hints at a real product opportunity in pet health diagnostics.
