With someone who connects business, technology, and media.
Ian Davies
Business Administration: Management Information Systems and Music Technology
I am interested in how technology, data, and well-designed processes can improve the way organizations operate and the way people experience essential services. Pursuing a degree in Business Administration with a focus in Management Information Systems at San José State University has helped me better understand the systems and organizational structures that make useful products and services possible.
That interest has grown through my internships at El Camino Health and Claritas Rx. At El Camino Health, I worked on a Microsoft 365 automation solution projected to save more than 50 hours annually. At Claritas Rx, I built a biotech data workflow that consolidated more than 690,000 records into approximately 99,000 structured records. These projects made me interested in how information moves through organizations and where thoughtful changes can make everyday work better.
I hope to contribute to systems that improve healthcare, government services, and public transportation, as well as advanced manufacturing and cutting-edge technologies that serve a practical purpose and make a difference in people’s lives.
My background also includes professional audio work at Foothill College, including Pro Tools, Dolby Atmos, Wwise, FMOD, Unity, and live sound. I have performed keys and vocals in an 80s band and volunteered as an online music instructor, teaching recorder and music theory to 30 elementary school students. Working with audio taught me that strong results depend on how well every part works together.
To me, technology matters most when it does more than work. It should make something clearer, easier, or better for the people who rely on it.
