Artin Nigohosyan
Artin - a great mind with a pure soul
Memories connect people, they last a lifetime
Artin radiated goodwill, concern and breadth of a KNOWLEDGEABLE person, who had gone through fire and water, through thorns and stones, but still remained bright, caught up in life, witty and joking…
The most wonderful and most magical quality of Artin was his sunny spirit! Always smiling, positive and full of stories. Stories from his work and travels, which he told in his soft, melodious voice and they sounded like fairy tales told on the radio.
Artin stood out from the rest of his colleagues with his professionalism, deep knowledge in the field of solid-state physics, thin-film semiconductor structures and microelectronics.
He is a genius, a man of great erudition. Years ago I had a client who had problems, the program did not start. I immediately contacted Artin. He came to the place, said that the computers were fake, and was categorical that the problem was not in "Business Navigator". It turned out that he was right. He knew a lot about computers.
Artin - the man we were all used to, the man we loved and respected, looked to for advice or just for a sweet story, а man with a capital M, the incredible son, husband, father and grandfather, left us as if in an instant, struck down by an insidious and evil disease.
In this book, we tried to collect the memories of an incredible man. His colleagues called him a genius in programming, a true professional and an incredible employer, his relatives and friends could not express their love and gratitude for everything he did for them or their families.
We would like to thank all of them for the help they provided us.
