Words from some of Namanan Chittappa's friends at Dominion Voting Systems:
Words cannot express the heartfelt gratitude that we as an entire company have for the privilege of knowing and working with Namana. Namana knew and believed deeply in the importance of his work. He knew his work and the work of his team was contributing to making the world a better place. What is more remarkable is that he remembered and exemplified this each day, and approached each day and each new challenge as an opportunity to make things better. Namana worked in an environment where most deadlines seemed unreasonable, where most challenges seemed insurmountable, and where failure was simply not an option. To most of us this leads to feelings of stress and chaos. Namana approached everything with a steady calmness – a serenity. To him, these challenges led to feelings of optimism and possibilities.
Namana's character exemplifies what we each strive to become each day. He was kind, thoughtful, centred and respectful. He never compromised his values. He valued his teammates and truly respected them. He managed to stay positive in overwhelmingly stressful situations. He would do anything and everything for his teammates without regard to himself, and did so regularly. His level of commitment combined with his extremely high level of technical competence earned him the highest levels of respect and trust of his team, his customers and other external members of the industry. When Namana said he would look after something, the rest of us all breathed easier. He always led by example, and when it comes to character, we can't think of a better example to follow.
Over the incredible four year period that we had the good fortune to be with Namana, he enriched so many of us in so many ways. His examples of character and competence will live on with each of us that knew and loved him.
Friends and Colleagues at Dominion Voting Systems
Namana was a wonderful person, manager, coworker, friend, husband. As many of you have pointed out, Namana never expressed negative emotions. Always positive, ready to help, capable of understanding every situation, every personality. As his direct manager I know we have lost a great Dominion family member. As his friend I know we have lost a great person. One of our best.
Here in Europe we will always remember our office and work related adventures with Namana, but much more will remember time spent with Namana outside the office. His jokes. His positive thinking. His optimism. He was a great guy. We will miss him a lot.
This shocking and tragic news put tears in our eyes. Our hearts and thoughts are with his wife and his family.
