Amit Sharma has spent his career identifying technology barriers and then breaking them one after another. In this episode of the Hewlett Packard Labs podcast, Dejan Milojicic grills Amit on his quest to always be the first on the market: the first System on a Chip for laser printers, the first x86 eight socket system, petabyte-scale data at the SnapFish photo printing service, commercial in-memory computing systems and more. Amit also reflects on his early days in Chicago, Silicon Valley and the HP Way.
