Change Details

= About Me = My name is Chidimma Okoloigwe. I enjoy building practical solutions using JavaScript, especially tools that deal with data and real-world problems. GitHub: https://github.com/Cheemma1 During this Outreachy application, I worked on tasks related to JSON formatting and checking whether links are valid. These tasks helped me understand how small issues like timezones or inefficient requests can affect real systems. = What I Worked On = == Task 1 – JSON Data Formatting == I worked on formatting JSON data so it is clean, structured, and easy to read. While testing, my mentor pointed out that the dates were off by one depending on timezone. I fixed this by adjusting how the date was handled so it works correctly in different environments. This taught me that something as simple as a date can behave differently depending on location. Repository: https://github.com/Cheemma1/outreachy-task-1 == Task 2 – URL Status Checker == I built a script that checks whether URLs are working or not. Initially, I used GET requests, but after feedback, I updated it to use HEAD requests since only the status code is needed. This made the solution more efficient. I also made sure to handle basic cases like skipping unnecessary rows and returning useful results. Repository: https://github.com/Cheemma1/outreachy-task2-url-checker = How I Approach Problems = When I work on a task, I try to: - First understand the problem clearly - Write a simple solution that works - Then improve it by handling edge cases and feedback I like improving things step by step rather than trying to make everything perfect at once. = How I Plan to Work During the Internship = If selected, I plan to: - Spend the first few weeks understanding the project deeply - Work on tasks step by step and share updates regularly - Ask questions whenever I’m unsure - Improve my work based on feedback from mentors I will stay consistent and make sure I communicate my progress. = Closing = Thank you for your time. I appreciate the opportunity and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to this project.
