Mike Lazaridis works for Waterloo branch of super computer maker Control Data Corporation (CDC) to get co-op credits in his first year at the University of Waterloo. His job is to research automatic error detection and correction in computer memory. He later recalls, "This made me realise that I could get paid to improve other research teams' operating systems, or build computer circuits for them."
