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.
