Hari Titan

Hari Titan, a Ph.D. in computer science from Univ. of Waterloo and a resident of Piedmont/Oakland (San Francisco bay area) was at Xamplify Inc. briefly for a couple of months. Technically brilliant, he seemed to have a healthy ego, and he soon got into trouble with Xamplify's management. A meeting with Sumer Johal, led to his abrupt firing.

Apparently he was at Visa International for a couple of weeks too. At Gap he was for a longer duration but seemingly a charge of sexual harassment (unjustifiable in my view) led to his termination.

We remained friendly. During September of 2009, while he was unemployed after his work at Geovera, I had a phone interview with David Navarro of Wells Fargo's Internet Fraud Division. He was looking for strong SAS and analytics background. Hari was inquisitive about my job search and got all the details from me and wasted no time in contacting my recruiter at Robert Half International (Chris Castillo) without my permission and in competition with me, Hari Titan and Chris Castillo, decided to submit Hari's resume to Dave Navarro, but not before they had apparently deleted Hari's short-term employment histories like the one at Xamplify Inc. (Told to me by Titan himself.) He got the job and was still employed there around end of November of 2009 when I last talked to him.

Earlier he seems to have worked at Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Providian Financial, ENC Software (now a part of Fair Isaac) and Moodlogic.
