Super easy to work with, very proactive, I highly recommend Omid. Hard working, smart individual with drive and a great person to boot." and "I first met Omid prior to 1998, but in 1998 I relocated to Oregon and Omid was a peer, developing scripts for a new automation tool. In addition to being a great friend and generously helpful coworker, Omid was very capable with the technical details of infrastructure and automation. In 2007, I was leading up an effort that needed a lab manager and Omid agreed to join me and run the lab. Suddenly in a role that required him to be a people manager, he kept his same can-do attitude and expanded his skillset for this new role - now hiring, performance managing, and collaborating with peers managing other labs. I left that team in late-2011 and we stayed in touch while he built, managed, and collaborated on lab space and infrastructure across many other teams and far-flung geographies. I've known Omid for more than 26 years and I can personally attest to the following traits that I see over and over again in everything that he does: * Technically competent, curious, and diligent. He doesn't do things arbitrarily, he learns the ins and outs of his responsibilities, and he is smart enough to independently advocate for good technical decision making. * Excellent people person. Omid is one of the most friendly and likeable engineers you'll ever meet. And he can be a people manager that has the respect of his team members when the opportunity presents itself. * Great team player. Omid cares about other people and prefers to collaborate and find mutually agreeable solutions whenever possible. I've seen these traits from him over and over again. Omid is an incredibly reliable and consistent person and *ANY* team that hires him will be glad that they did!"
