Project RISING
The hardest part was designing a resilient pipeline that could behave correctly during failure, not only during normal execution. We had to separate trusted and untrusted records, simulate network disruption, retry failed events, prevent duplicates with checkpoints, route malformed data to a DLQ, and still synchronize accepted records into PostgreSQL. Winning would validate our ability to solve real public-sector data problems with practical engineering, not just dashboards. It would encourage our team to keep building resilient data systems for healthcare, climate response, and underserved communities, while strengthening our portfolio and confidence as emerging data professionals.

Project Name
Project RISING
One-Line Problem Statement
Healthcare data can be lost, delayed, or duplicated when climate disasters disrupt connectivity across vulnerable health systems.
Project Description
Project RISING, Resilient Intelligent Surveillance & Integrated Next-Generation Healthcare, is a climate-resilient health data engineering platform designed to protect public-health data during network failures, floods, and infrastructure disruptions. The solution combines historical ASEAN health datasets with simulated real-time weather events in a hybrid ingestion pipeline. Batch health files are cleaned, standardized, validated, and prepared for analytics. Real-time events pass through schema validation, retry handling, checkpoint-based duplicate protection, and Dead Letter Queue routing. Accepted records are preserved locally and can be synchronized into a PostgreSQL warehouse for trusted analytics. Project RISING creates impact by helping public-health teams maintain reliable data continuity during emergencies. Valid records are preserved, failed records are recoverable, malformed records are isolated, and decision-makers can continue building even when connectivity is unstable.
Methodology
Imagine a typhoon has struck a coastal province in Southeast Asia. Clinics are still collecting critical health and climate-related data, but the internet is unstable. In a traditional system, records may be lost, duplicated, delayed, or corrupted before they reach decision-makers. Project RISING is built for that moment. RISING means Resilient Intelligent Surveillance & Integrated Next-Generation Healthcare. It is not just a dashboard; it is a resilient data fabric that keeps public-health information moving when normal systems fail. Historical health data provides the baseline. Real-time climate events test the system under disruption. Validation protects data quality. Retry logic recovers from temporary outages. Checkpoints prevent duplicates. A Dead Letter Queue isolates bad records. A PostgreSQL warehouse stores trusted accepted data. The mission is simple: no critical public-health record should be lost during climate-induced connectivity failures.
