Damilola Michael Ige

Targeting:

I'm the tech equivalent of a Swiss Army knife—sharp, versatile, and always ready for the next challenge. My journey started with math competitions, and now I thrive at the intersection of data, code, and clouds (both the fluffy and AWS kind). I've engineered solutions across the web, built iOS apps, and constructed robust cloud architectures. From Data Analyst to Data Engineer and Full Stack Developer, I wield a full arsenal: JavaScript, TypeScript, Swift, Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, React, AWS, GCP and every data tool under the sun. I wrangle big data into actionable insights and build pipelines sleek enough to make Excel jealous. I also love sharing the fun, mentoring new talent, and championing Agile and CI/CD—because life's too short for manual deployments!

Word Game Challenge

An open-source word-guessing game using vanilla JavaScript and a modular architecture, ensuring responsiveness. To enhance the user experience, I implemented real-time letter validation and an interactive colour-coded feedback system. I integrated the Datamuse API with custom filtering algorithms to create an adaptive word dictionary with appropriate difficulty levels for words of varying lengths. Additionally, I built a performance-optimized game state management system with local storage integration, which included real-time scoring, game statistics tracking, and persistent high-score functionality.
