I led a small team of three interns, including myself, where I was responsible for delegating tasks, managing deadlines, facilitating team meetings, and ensuring our project aligned with stakeholder expectations and EOC operational needs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"295\" data-end=\"738\">The primary project I led was the development of a check-in\/check-out and shift log system for EOC personnel. Working collaboratively with two peers and the IT department within the City of San Jose&#8217;s Emergency Operations Center, we designed and implemented a centralized platform that allowed staff to record shift activities, log critical updates, and track personnel movements. We built the system using Microsoft Power Apps integrated with SharePoint\/Excel as the data backend, and included a QR code scanning feature for efficient check-in\/check-out. Our solution aimed to replace paper logs and improve real-time visibility and accountability during emergency activations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"295\" data-end=\"738\">Key accomplishments included:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1634\">\n<li data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1452\">\n<p data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1452\">Gathering user requirements through interviews with EOC staff.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1550\">\n<p data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1550\">Designing a user-friendly interface suitable for staff with varying levels of tech proficiency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1634\">\n<p data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1634\">Testing and refining the app to ensure reliability in high-pressure environments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"2456\">This internship experience directly enhanced my skills in project management, systems analysis, and application development\u2014core areas of my Management Information Systems (MIS) major. I applied concepts\u00a0in creating use-case diagrams, managing timelines with Gantt charts, and conducting stakeholder interviews. I also gained hands-on experience using Microsoft Power Platform, which many corporations heavily utilize Microsoft applications. Additionally, leading a team and working with a government agency helped strengthen my leadership, communication, and adaptability, which are skills essential for a future career in project management or IT consulting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1987,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-35","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/reanneling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/35","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/reanneling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/reanneling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/reanneling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1987"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/reanneling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/reanneling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/35\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/reanneling\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
