We managed data from NASA’s space probe, which flew by Pluto in 2015. Specifically, we created a Plone-powered portal to help migrate scientific data for NASA’s New Horizons scientists.
At Six Feet Up, we care deeply about other human beings and the earth we live on. Our expert engineers span nearly every continent and global challenges are affecting us all. To build a better world, we must work together and do our part to address these issues and make a difference.

Below are a few examples of our IMPACTFUL Projects to date:
We managed data from NASA’s space probe, which flew by Pluto in 2015. Specifically, we created a Plone-powered portal to help migrate scientific data for NASA’s New Horizons scientists.
Using Django and AWS, we helped FLASH Scientific Technology build an application that predicts the first strike of any thunderstorm with 99.6% accuracy and a 15- to 25-minute lead time.
Using GeoDjango, we worked with a data science firm to map forest fire trajectory and build a website that would help emergency responders more effectively contain wildfires.
We built a Python-based Angular/Electron application for a major life sciences company. The device is designed to improve genetic engineering workflows.
We built a suite of Python applications designed to optimize operations for a major battery energy storage company that is mitigating the impacts of climate change.
We upgraded a news nonprofit's Plone website and integrated its CMS with other Digital Asset Management software. The site makes it easier for journalists to work in countries where press freedom is restricted.
We helped a statewide health system rebuild its digital infrastructure and implement a new world-class big data pipeline that is easier to maintain and allows more focus on patient outcomes.
We created a ChatGPT-like application to help advance agricultural practices (including challenges posed by climate change) and boost crop yields.
We migrated an application from Ruby on Rails to Python/Django. The app helps our client’s customers more accurately calculate their carbon footprint.
