I built the national covid health information system (NCHIS) for my country that helped to mitigate the pandemic. It streamlined the sample collection to issuing reports and aggregated data nationwide and generated reports for government to make decisions on lockdowns and track the pandemic progress.

Well this was not completely built by me but I got help from 20 odd university students but I overlooked the project and did lot of coding myself. Even though it’s not used now since the pandemic has settled I’m happy what I have done.

> I overlooked the project

May I suggest "oversaw"?

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oversee

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/overlook

Even though both words have older meanings that are somewhat opposite of their current meanings, "oversee" is normally used today to mean "supervise" or "superintend" (in fact, I suspect "oversee" could be a calque of "supervise"), while "overlook" is normally used to mean "ignore" or "fail to perceive".

Thank you so much for letting me know. English is now my fist language. You learn something new everyday

I guess it’s too late for me to edit the comment now.
