Photo-to-Brick Mosaic Web Application (Similar to Photobrick / Brick.me)

Hi Shehryar,I came across your profile and noticed your strong background in Computer Vision and your previous work on custom mosaic visualization pipelines (like Mozaico).I am looking to develop a custom web application similar to Photobrick / Brick.me, and your specific experience with image processing and visual mapping makes you a great fit.Project OverviewWe need an interactive web platform that converts user-uploaded photographic portraits into physical stud-based brick mosaics.Key Technical ScopeInteractive Frontend Editor:User image upload, real-time crop/pan/zoom, brightness/contrast adjustments.Modular grid preview based on standard $16 \times 16$ stud baseplate matrices (e.g., $3 \times 3$, $4 \times 4$, up to larger multi-plate layouts).Quantization & Color Matching Engine:Downsampling the image to exact stud resolution.Color quantization mapped strictly to our fixed physical brick palette (~40 colors) using perceptual color distance (CIELAB / Delta E) to ensure high-fidelity skin tones and contrast.Bill of Materials & Production Output:Automatic calculation of exact piece counts sorted by color code.Automated generation of a paginated, printable/downloadable assembly manual PDF (breaking down the mosaic plate by plate, stud by stud with color keys/numbered symbols).Order Integration:Packaging the configuration data (plate layout, brick inventory, user design preview) to attach directly to the checkout/cart flow.Could you share:Your availability to take on a project of this scope?Whether you would recommend running the quantization/rendering client-side (e.g., HTML5 Canvas / WebGL) or via a Python backend (OpenCV / Pillow)?A ballpark timeline/estimate for building the core engine and customizer MVP?Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.Best regards,
