Project: InterNUS

InterNUS is a convenient and powerful desktop app, created to help NUS CS students manage their internship applications. It is optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI), and complemented with a simple yet intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) designed to help you keep track of all your applications at a glance.

Below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Created the internship class along with the corresponding command to add it to InterNUS.
    • What it does: Allows the user to keep track of internship related information, namely company name, role, status, interview date and contact person.
    • Justification: This abstraction of an internship is necessary to facilitate the storing and passing of information around for all other features involving internships.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to search persons and internships by multiple prefixes.
    • What it does: Allows the user to find persons and internships by their specific fields.
    • Justification: With a potentially very long list of persons and internships, this command is crucial for users to be able to easily find the information they need.
  • New Feature: Added selectable color themes (currently available are light theme and dark theme).
    • What it does: Allows the user to choose the color theme of the GUI.
    • Justification: Although purely cosmetic, GUI customization can improve the overall user experience as users get to personalize how they want the app to look and feel.
