Cloud Architecture and AWS Systems
Architecture, implementation, and review of secure, maintainable AWS systems, including serverless services, APIs, event pipelines, storage, identity, monitoring, cost-aware design, and production support.
Capabilities
Capabilities for Aerospace, Cloud, AI, and Mission-Support Software
Lewa Labs helps aerospace, NASA-adjacent, commercial, and technical teams plan, build, modernize, and operate practical software systems, from AWS architecture and backend services to telemetry/data pipelines and AI-assisted engineering workflows.
Company Positioning
Lewa Labs LLC is a small technical software business focused on AWS cloud systems, backend engineering, AI implementation, DevOps, telemetry/data pipelines, and aerospace-adjacent mission-support software.
The company serves prime contractors, subcontractors, commercial aerospace teams, government-adjacent programs, and technical leads who need senior engineering judgment with hands-on implementation.
Lewa Labs is a strong fit for focused work packages, architecture reviews, prototypes, modernization efforts, technical rescue work, and subcontracted software delivery where clear communication, reliable execution, and practical architecture matter.
Lewa Labs is led by Alan Snyder. Founder experience includes NASA Ames software work, VIPER telemetry pipeline architecture, AWS-heavy production systems, AI-assisted tooling, backend platforms, and issued patent work.

Core Capabilities
Focused software and cloud capabilities for technical teams that need practical architecture, senior implementation, and clear delivery ownership.
Backend Software Engineering
Production APIs, backend services, integrations, authentication flows, automation, operational tooling, and data-heavy services using Python, Java, FastAPI, databases, and AWS services.
AI Implementation and AI-Assisted Tooling
Practical AI systems and internal tools for engineering workflows, including LLM-assisted automation, guardrails, evaluation, data preparation, model deployment support, and human-reviewed workflows.
Telemetry and Data Pipeline Systems
Event-driven ingestion, transformation, storage, publishing, and monitoring for telemetry, sensor, operational, and mission-adjacent data. Founder experience includes NASA VIPER telemetry publishing architecture.
DevOps and Infrastructure as Code
Repeatable infrastructure, CI/CD support, AWS account patterns, IAM/SSO access models, monitoring, deployment automation, and maintainable cloud operations using CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation, Docker, Git, and AWS delivery services.
Technical Prototyping and MVP Delivery
Focused prototypes, proof-of-concept systems, and small production-ready software packages for teams that need to validate an approach quickly without losing sight of operational realities.
Architecture Review and Technical Advisory
Independent technical review for AWS architecture, backend design, data flows, reliability, observability, security posture, cost, modernization, and delivery risk.
Aerospace and Mission-Support Software
Software support for aerospace-adjacent and mission-support contexts, including ground-support tools, cloud-hosted data systems, mission-facing dashboards, telemetry pipelines, R&D software, and technical prototypes.
