We are technology Stories of employees Technology is what our work is about and what we use in our daily lives. It is our hobby, passion and vision of how to be successful. We use devices in the office, at home, and on our journeys. We stay connected wherever we are, and we love it. Technology unites us into a team of like-minded people: one big family of information and software engineers, test specialists and analysts, challengers and innovators. We are Technology. featured TECHNOLOGY STORIES For me, one of my most memorable moments with technology was a dreaded walk in the Besseggen Mountains in Norway during a business management trip... TOMAS ERIKSSON Read more ALL TECHNOLOGY STORIES Weston Rowan Information Engineer As an older member of the millennial generation, I am glued to my smart phone. Working with Sigma Technology hasn’t changed this one bit. I send work emails while waiting in line. I send instant messages to my colleagues and clients. I join web meetings while stuck in traffic. Read more Anitha Muthu Consultant Technology is very much a part of modern life. Many people say “We need technology; it’s a good thing for us”. The most excited people would say, “We can’t live without technology; it can save many human lives”. Read more Stefan Millett Consultant My story with technology began as a teenager, when I was doing warehouse work for a video game company. I started off working in their warehouse, loading and unloading trucks full of video games and peripherals. Being a video game fanatic at the time, I wanted to work with what was INSIDE of those boxes. Read more Regina Roman Consultant I've been a technical writer since Moby-Dick was a minnow. A 10-hour plane ride from Frankfurt to San Francisco convinced me to abandon all other professional pursuits. I said no to becoming a Las Vegas show girl (that story costs you a beer). And a no to embracing a fulfilled (yet impoverished) life as a poetess. What changed my life? Read more Jeff Wagner Technical Writer This month is the one year anniversary of Sigma Technology’s San Jose Technical Writing-focused office, of which I’ve been a part of for nine of the months. Being involved on the “ground floor” of something new is what I find very exciting. Read more Olle Hilborn Information Engineer Technology is to be efficient. Technology is about those boring things that I don't have to do anymore. I can spend my time on better things, such as family, having a cup of tea, exercising, which in my case is often Brazilian jiu-jitsu or even reading. Technology thus brings value to my life. Read more Göran Bolinder Team Leader After studying electrical engineering at Lund Institute of Technology, I suddenly found myself as a teacher, educating future librarians. When they arrived, most of my students had a romantic idea of a life in silence among books. Then they met me… Read more Anders Helenefors Consultant The day I nearly killed myself... During a pilot training lesson I plunged my Cessna into a spinning motion, knowing exactly how to get out of the situation. I pushed the throttle in and tried to pull the aircraft up, but I panicked as the ground got closer and closer. Read more Yuliya Burgay Information engineer I was born at the dawn of the USSR. The Cold War was long over. Technology was slowly “dying” in my country. Spaceships kept flying but housewives had to wash clothes by hand boiling it over and over hoping that at least some stains would disappear. Teachers would have to walk from class to class carrying lots of charts and maps. Read more Per Bjällmark Quality Manager More than 10 years ago, I started to work for Sigma Technology. One of my first assignments was for a minor telecommunication company. I remember trying patiently to explain to my wife what I worked with. A couple of weeks later I overheard her talking to her parents... Read more Juan Zhu Consultant Last month I assembled two IKEA wash basin cabinets with my husband based on IKEA’s text-free manual. The outcome of the six-hour installation is not just the two new cabinets, but also a long summary on the usability of the manual as well as suggestions to IKEA on how to escalate the consumer’s satisfaction. Read more Andreas Lamkén CTO In the spring of 2007 I embarked on a journey to South Africa for a Star for Life project initiated by Sigma. This was a pilot project with the purpose of donating used computers to five schools, installing them on-site and educating the teachers in basic computer science. Read more Hjalmar Ekström Consultant I want to share two memories with you. One of my early memories of technology was from the late 90's. My big brother had installed a number of games on our computer and showed me the basics of one of them. The game was a so called adventure game with the goal to save the world. Read more Viktor Jeremic Consultant My fascination with technology started at an early age, about the time that I started school. The first “Hi-Tech” stuff I was allowed to tinker with was a radio, which I tried to boost the reception of to get better reception on the AM-band. Other than listening to lots of music I learned the basics of soldering. Read more Szilvia Szilágyi Consultant It sounds anecdotic, but this is what happens to people as we get more and more experience as time flies (less sophisticated: as we get older), the story goes like this: Two decades ago my father got us an IBM PS/1 personal computer, back in those days the specs didn’t count that much, but as a fun-fact I let you know that it was running DOS 4.1 with a 16 MHz CPU and with an overwhelming 2 MB RAM. In those days it was a big deal if someone had a PC. Read more Hongying Sheng Consultant Do you still remember the mobile phones you possess for these years? From the first generation to the current four generation, I have almost a dozen of phones in the past ten years. The development of the communication terminal device is just an epitome of the modern technology’s revolution. Read more Katalin Czimbalmos Quality Manager, Hungary So, I am into running. Those who like running know why, but those who don’t tend to, ask: “Why running?” My immediate answer is: “Because it is so simple. All you need is a pair of shoes.” This is of course true… but I have to admit that the more kilometers I run, the more I make use of technology... Read more Nate Zhang Country Manager, China When I start to think about the past five years of working inside Sigma Technology, there were many exciting moments or stories, but one thing is more important than everything else such like winning a project or beat our competitors. It is my first-second feeling when I knew our company slogan of “making technology useable”. Read more David Muir Consultant Technology lets Me live a life I couldn't Dream of as a child Read more Amer Hadziomerovic President, STDS If you Google for innovations that changed our way of life in the 20th century you will most probably end up in a technology centered innovation. From television to the mobile phone, from electricity to credit cards technology continues to change our life, and most of us depend on the technology to function. I am proud to say that without engineers the world would not be the same. Read more Imre Nagy Project Manager I don’t really remember how or when, because I was a little kid. It just happened. With anything I could find around the house. An old radio. A wristwatch. An RC car. Any electronic junk I could lay my hands on in my uncle’s garage (he was really into electronic junks…). I just couldn’t resist, I had to grab a screwdriver and take them apart. Read more Jing Yu Consultant Technology carries our memory and is shaping and enriching our life... “Study hard, or you won’t become a scientist.” Growing up with these words, I considered science & technology great. Enchanted by Chemistry and Physics experiments at high school, I considered science & technology amazing. Read more Dániel Sándor Project Manager I am a child of the eighties, when technology was advancing slower, especially in the Eastern block. Every new gadget was a miracle, of which we spoke for days or weeks. There are two outstanding events that I still remember from my early childhood. Read more Alixander Ansari Consultant The way I see it, technology is evolution. As technology develops, so do our societies, cultures and knowledge. As our horizons grow, our entire civilization evolves. We no longer need to wait for Mother Nature to advance us to the next level, as technology accelerates us beyond the constraints of our biology. Read more Carl Vikingsson CEO What I like the most in Sigma is the entrepreneurial organization, and a culture that doesn’t just all the time think about limits. Instead, it is always searching for opportunities. I get the opportunity to work with highly skilled people at front-end clients worldwide, and they are really at the sweet spot of new technology... Read more Adrienn Zemancsik Recruiter I have been interested in technology since my early childhood. Lucky for me since my generation is very tightly connected to modern technology, in other words we are linked in… My grandma keeps on saying I used to ask her how they were able to get along without mobile phones. Read more György Nagy Country Manager, Hungary My story with technology started in the mid-90s. I was a university student then, and I came into some money after my grandfather died. I already made a modest living teaching and freelancing, and what little I earned I had to spend wisely. Read more Gabriela Lazanja Information Management Consultant TechGiant Store X. Paradise to a geek like me, considering technology being truly about life enhancement and pure joy. Entering. Salesman, working up steam while approaching. Read more Gabor Soos Software Engineer The slogan of this campaign is: “We are technology”. I think it is more true than we could think it at first sight. It is not 'just' a simple 'marketing trick', it is much more from my point of view. It sounds strange, but let me start with a sharp statement: Technology gives you physical framework.
