ESSCOR

A discovery portal unifying archival and near real-time remote sensing holdings into a searchable, standards-compliant catalog.

My role Lead developer — built the discovery and search platform, the metadata model, and granule-level access controls.

ESSCOR

Granule

Level access control

Streamlined data discovery and ordering for government agencies and partner institutions.

Problem

  • Researchers struggled to discover and order data across fragmented archival and near real-time holdings.
  • Metadata inconsistency slowed search, access control, and downstream ordering workflows.

Approach

  • Implemented granule-level access controls and standardized metadata schemas.
  • Built search and discovery on ElasticSearch with governed ordering and delivery paths.

Outcome

  • Streamlined data discovery and ordering for government agencies and partner institutions.
  • Reduced friction between catalog search and governed data access.
