Colleagues describe him as "I worked, directly and indirectly, with Vahid on OpenTV's flagship product, OpenTV streamer over a period of 7 years. When we first discussed porting this product from UNIX to Windows, Vahid met the challenge and successfully right-sized the product to fit the changing customer and pricing requirements . Even after his direct code ownership ended and Vahid assumed other responsibilities within the company, he continued to assist the coding successors as a vital mentor and architect, always willing to go the extra mile to perfect the results. I find Vahid to be a sharp, ingenious engineer and strong team leader who sees synergies and possibilities rather than obstructions. A joy and inspiration to work with." and "I worked with Vahid for more than 10 years. Vahid is always reliable and dedicated worker. His management skills are invaluable. His trouble-shooting leadership and problem solving expertise was highly appreciated."
