        I’m lucky to have worked under Armen, a leader and engineer who’s not only interested in the company’s bottom line, but also in his team’s professional growth. He constantly empowers his team and bolsters creativity and innovation.  Armen is also very focused and driven to accomplish the mission. In the 4 years that I’ve worked with him, he has spearheaded multiple ground-up builds and nearly tripled the size of the company’s IT footprint.  Armen is also an incredible communicator and combined with real world decision-making capabilities, he has been able to steer a small IT team into an enterprise grade department.  I will miss working Armen, he’s a true leader who knows how to motivate his team. Eric J. Gruber
      
          



            
              
        
              
  

    
        Armen is an energetic and detailed orientated engineer who will take on any task and complete it with the utmost proficiency. We have worked on many large scale projects together and his dedication to completing the tasks correctly and in a timely manner was very admirable. I would highly recommend his talents to anyone looking for a very reliable, respectfully and hard working Systems Engineer.
