Using Coding Powers for Good in a World That Doesn’t Always Feel that Way
summary
Builds an OSEW/Open Source Early Warning pipeline that polls public aviation APIs (uses OpenSky Network), lets users set geographic bounds, filter by country of origin and flight track, and notifies on inbound flights. Implements a small microservice MVP in Spring Boot / Java (reactive WebClient, Thymeleaf front end) plus a map view (Bing maps) with near‑real‑time refresh (~5s). Demo shows country list, filtered position queries, and moving map markers; code and incremental microservices live on GitHub under mkheck.
