Contribution
▸ Developed REST APIs using Node.js and Express to connect a Python-based exoplanet analysis engine with a 3D visualization platform.
▸ Implemented Node.js and Python integration using child_process to execute exoplanet analysis calculations and return results to the frontend.
▸ Built backend services for handling NASA exoplanet datasets and delivering analysis results to the frontend.
▸ Implemented API's supporting calculations for habitable zone classification, equilibrium temperature estimation, signal-to-noise ratio analysis, and telescope detectability assessment.
▸ Deployed backend infrastructure on AWS EC2 during the NASA Space Apps Challenge.
▸ Contributed to a project selected as a Global Finalist in the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2024.
