Reference

Arman Abounourinejad has demonstrated excellent leadership and organizational skills since joining the Mass Effect 2 team. As part of our ramping-on plan, Arman led up the initiative to train and supervise the localization testers which joined in late november to help us get the title out of the door on first submission. He is consistent and straightforward and always asks questions, and his skills as both a tester and a leader have grown considerably.
