Today I got to shadow Grant Shenk at Lenovo. The day started off with a tour of the building, and I got to see the 3rd and 4th floors of Building 1, as well as a full tour of the Customer Centre, where all the publicly released products offered by Lenovo are showcased and available for use. I was able to try out a very high end custom desktop PC, with a curved 120 degree display, and play a match of Rocket League. I also had a one-on-one meeting with Grant, where I learned about the life of a product and how it travels from proof of concept all the way down the chain to EOL and EOS (ends of life and service, respectively). I was also able to check out how some of the different workspaces are set up, and offer feedback as to how to better encourage interdepartmental interaction through workspace design. I was also able to meet two great employees named Bridgett and Jarrett (sp?, apologies to him, never was able to see the correct spelling of his name), the latter of whom was very involved in music production, which has ties to my intended college minor of vocal performance, and we all had a great lunchtime conversation at Randy’s Pizza about the evolution of technology and how it has changed over the last two decades, including Y2K, specifically. I had an amazing first day and I look forward to what these next two weeks have to offer, including Friday, when I am able to shadow Bridgett for the day!
