“With Amit as the head of ops for Zynga Poker, it was easy to rest at night knowing that the Zynga Poker platform was under Amit's watchful eye. Amit not only managed daily ops for ZP, he also interfaced with numerous central teams to coordinate live maintenance of the game, trained up new recruits for both ops related work and on-call duties, and even guided the game safely through multiple major maintenance events with minimal downtime. Always a pleasure to work with and always willing to help, Amit has an amazing dedication to his work and an attitude and work ethic to build a team around. Even as a feature developer, Amit was always rock solid with his ability to deliver features on time and with excellent quality.”
