Bio
Chirag Dadia
Arik is an excellent individual with a unique set of technical skills, people skills and a solid understanding of the business. He is well-versed in a multitude of programming languages and technologies. He has the ability to communicate with the business unit, to derive technical requirements from product requirements, to design solutions to realize those requirements to implement the solutions and to optimize those implementations to meet the SLAs and QoS requirements of the product. On any given day, he could be found pairing and shipping top notch quality code or architecting a solution all while balancing the role of managing projects, people expectations, and investor relationships. Arik deeply values product quality, development efficiency, and speed. He is always looking for ways to provide his team the right set of tools and processes for them to be able to deliver a superior quality product and a fun, comfortable environment to help boost their creativity and efficiency. Above all, he is an excellent CTO and a natural leader. He is patient, compassionate and always available when you need him. He is adept in introducing different viewpoints and is good at reading the flow of interactions in a conversation and steering it in a direction leading to positive actions. I learned quite a few things from Arik including the finer points of a good coffee, latte art, and exotic cuisines. His passion for continuous improvement is quite contagious. I believe he would be a valuable and very important member of any team.

Arik is a very professional individual. He is a conscientious team player with high intelligence and superior writing skills. I supervised a summer internship he had in 2010 in which he received outstanding recognition from the client. Any company would be lucky to have Arik work for them.
