As part of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) project worked on a Data Pipeline using AWS Serverless architecture. Made use of AWS SDK, CLI and APIs. Used CloudFormation, API Gateway, Lambda, Kinesis, S3, CloudWatch, Cognito, IAM, Websocket, etc. The Pipeline is used internally by NASA and externally by NASA partners to submit data about flights for multiple uses, including storage/processing/ETL in NASA hosted databases, distribution for use by visualization tools.Collaborated with customers… Show more As part of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) project worked on a Data Pipeline using AWS Serverless architecture.
