How I built it (what's the stack? did I run into issues or discover something new along the way?)

I learned a ton and I've got to write more about the experience, but right now, just wanted to submit a post with the Dockerized and runnable version of my project.

The stack is built with Flask, RabbitMQ, Google Cloud Vision, and Docker / Docker Compose (if that counts in the stack?).

I want to say thanks to Twilio and DevTo for putting this on. I had a lot of fun creating this project and will use it and continue to improve on it for my own personal experience and enjoyment after the hackathon. Good luck to all!
