Build Aviation Weather Intelligence Platform
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
I am ready to commission a green-field web application that gives both dispatchers and pilots a single, secure place to check weather forecasts for every airport tied to an active flight plan. The core idea is straightforward: once users log in, they should immediately see weather intelligence that is automatically matched to their current or upcoming routes.
Scope of the first release
• User authentication and role management for dispatchers and pilots
• REST or WebSocket data ingestion from our chosen flight-plan and weather feeds
• A dispatcher workspace with:
◦ real-time weather forecast notifications pushed to the browser or email/SMS
◦ a fully customizable dashboard (widgets, layout, saved views)
• A pilot view focused on clean, real-time weather updates for departure, en-route alternates, and destination airports
• Responsive UI that works on tablets in the cockpit as well as desktop ops centers
• Deployment pipeline to a secure cloud environment and concise technical hand-over docs
Tech stack is flexible—as long as it’s modern, maintainable, and truly full-stack. If React or Vue on the front end and Node, Python, or another scalable back end suits you, perfect. Well-structured APIs, solid unit tests, and clear documentation will be part of the delivery checklist.
Acceptance criteria
1. A demo login for each role that surfaces the correct, role-specific interface.
2. Weather and flight-plan data refresh no slower than every five minutes.
3. Notifications reach the configured channel within 60 seconds of a changed forecast.
4. Dashboards can be rearranged and saved without code changes.
5. Code passes automated tests and is deployable through the provided CI/CD script.
If you have prior aviation, mapping, or real-time data experience, highlight it—I value domain familiarity. I’m keen to start immediately and will iterate rapidly with you toward an MVP, so let me know your preferred stack, estimated timeline, and any clarifying questions.
