Word Hunt Solver
A full-stack solver for GamePigeon Word Hunt that finds valid paths, ranks scoring options, and tracks board-level performance over time.
Implementation Notes
- Designed backend endpoints for board analysis, scoring, and history retrieval with fast response for repeated lookups
- Implemented a Trie-powered solver to efficiently enumerate valid words and maximize score output per board
- Persisted board results in PostgreSQL to compute percentiles and historical ranking trends
- Containerized the app with Docker and deployed with Fly.io + managed AWS RDS infrastructure
