He possess expertise in distributed systems, scalability, java, agile methodologies, software engineering and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Nirav was my manager for 5 years at Amazon and is one of the best leaders I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Nirav’s biggest strength from my perspective is his ability to stay and keep his team connected with the bigger picture/mission of the company and putting together the organizational pieces for individual teams to be successful. Nirav is also an excellent listener who pays close attention to his team and their career development. This is a key reason why Nirav has done great at retaining his best employees for several years even at times when the rest of the organization would go through turbulence. I highly recommend Nirav as a leader and would love to work with him again in the future.", "I worked on Nirav's team and later was adjacent to Nirav's organization for my entire career at Amazon. I can say, unequivocally, that he is one of the best technical leaders I have worked with. His skills are as broad as building and turning around organizations, championing engineering quality, and operating P&Ls at massive scale. Would highly recommend working with him.", and "I worked closely with Nirav for over a year on an AWS feature, IAM Roles for EC2 Instances. Part of that time I reported directly to him. As a people-manager, Nirav is one of the few managers I've had the pleasure to work with who is generally interested in the career development of his reports. We had weekly talks about areas where I could improve and what we could do to help the other members of our team. He was very open to feedback and I saw him strive to make improvements to his management practices. On the technical side, Nirav was involved in all aspects of the customer experience and technical challenges during our project. He facilitated communication with a remote team and made himself available at all times to "grease the wheels". While he was interested in the implementation details, he left the engineers on his team to make our own choices, only stepping in when it was necessary to help with conflict resolution. As one of the best managers I've worked with, I would recommend Nirav without reservation."
