Technology Intern
“During my internship, I worked for the Outage Management System (OMS) team that basically was the hub for every single electrical outage in the New Jersey area. Our product would be used by dispatchers to send Utility repair teams to specific electrical outages. My job was to create a Python application utilizing Selenium and PyQt5 to scrape data from production and the testing environments to find differences in the configuration settings to make the debugging process easier for my team. I also assisted with the IT portion of implementing new changes to production to fix bugs.
I really enjoyed experiencing what corporate life was like in IT and seeing how a small team works in a big company. I had a lot of prior knowledge using Python but Dr. Li’s Networking class helped me gain experience with web scraping which I spent a lot of time on at PSEG.”
