OpenFHS began with Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome and is growing toward an Open Feline Health Standard.

I’m new to software development, and OpenFHS is where I’m learning how to design, test, document, and maintain a real open-source project. It focuses on structured feline-health observations, uncertainty, provenance, missingness, privacy, and data portability.

The other tools on this profile are separate animal and environmental projects that I plan to develop over time. OpenFHS will stay focused on cats.

Experimental learning-focused open-source alpha. I’m not presenting this as professional veterinary, clinical, or research work. OpenFHS is not diagnostic AI, veterinary advice, a veterinary service, clinical validation, or a research study.

Python · JavaScript · Git · GitHub · Linux · Docker · Cloud & DevOps · Computer Vision · Open Source Development

I’m learning by building real projects, testing what I make, fixing what breaks, and documenting what I figure out along the way.

The extra garden squares are decorative, but they sit on the snake's route so they get eaten too xD

OpenFHS is the first active public build, but it is definitely not the only thing I want to make. I have a few other animal, conservation, and data tools in the works behind the scenes.

I’m keeping most of those ideas private until they are far enough along to actually show something useful xD

observe > assume
unknown != no
missing != zero
context != cause
privacy > flashy AI
open standards > locked-in data
