Something special happened this summer at Ampere when our interns came into the studio to interview their mentors! Great conversations ensued as we chatted about our career paths. In the first of this series, Kathy Thompson (Reed College) invites Annie Duong to share her story on getting into engineering. Annie is a Senior Design Manager at Ampere, and she speaks on how to push one another to achieve your best, encouraging psychological safety at work, creating a post-gender culture, and what she thinks about during her long-distance runs.

How important is it to cultivate great customer relationships? As engineers shift employers, we find ourselves working with former colleagues in fresh roles. Shiv Kaushik is an Ampere Fellow, working at the boundary between Architecture and Software. We sat down with Shiv to learn about the importance of customer relationships, his career path spanning the boundary between hardware and software, and his video gaming habits.

John and Mahesh sit down with Sean Mirkes, the VP of Logic Development. We have a candid discussion on career transitions, and Sean's role in building out a world-class organization on a foundation of personal growth, technical mentorship, and inclusivity of thought.
