What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I pushed very hard to be in the high-tech industry after I graduated. It was a very intentional move because I realized technology augments the human experience in every way.
All technology, at some point, is underpinned by semiconductor technology. The computer we're speaking on, the internet connectivity, and all the data centers and servers exist because of semiconductors.
This is due to the incredible and relentless advancement in semiconductor technology over the last 50 years. The compounding effects of improvements every single year have been astounding. Frankly, that was very fascinating for me.
I had no semiconductor experience before starting my role at Toshiba Memory, which was just a summer internship before my full-time role. I'm a naturally curious person, so I loved learning about how everything worked.
I would watch videos for hours trying to understand how an SSD works, not just conceptually, but down to the physics level. I wanted to know how electrons in an SSD store data, and how that data is read and written.
I also learned about emerging technologies and how future technologies work. Being part of the role exposed me to the roadmaps of suppliers working on the cutting edge of what's possible.
I got to see what's coming in the next one, two, three, or four years, and where these people are building for the next decade. Having that perspective was something I loved.
I'm a huge fan of following what's going on in the tech industry as a whole. Being able to see what's in my Mac and my iPhone, and what suppliers are working on in their roadmaps, allows me to envision a future of technology that doesn't exist today. Being close to all of that is super fun.
