I am Omid aka dimo: a human male born in Southern California sometime many many years ago. I believe in taking care of people less fortunate than myself. I come from a family of war refugees who rose from nothing into middle class. I have strong opinions held loosely, and know exactly where I’m going, even though I don’t always know how I’ll get there.
Games are a huge part of my life. I have appeared on Games Done Quick — playing StepMania with my friends commentating from my garage, and together raised $100K for Doctors Without Borders. Most years, along rhythm game legend Chris C., I also spend time raising thousands of dollars for the Alzheimer’s Association and Breakthrough T1D (currently my “stream team” on Twitch, check them out!)
I am currently rank #4 worldwide at this video game.
I love public speaking, my wife, and attempting to leave this world at some point slightly better than when I got here.
Work-wise: I own my own company, where do research & product consulting. It’s solely word of mouth/referral-based. See https://takimo.info for more info!
Most recent clients include: Sup (new company from creator of Vine), Dolby Laboratories, and Autodesk.
In one line: I’m good at understanding how and why things work and don’t work at both the technical and human levels.
This perspective/analytical brain helps me solve UX, HR, and Business problems all the same.
Previously: founded & managed user experience research team @discord.
Even More Previously: led research @cruise (consumer experience); @dropbox (desktop assistant), @meta (my research founded/bootstrapped Facebook Gaming) and started everything by interning at @blizzard (battle.net client, Diablo 3, StarCraft 2).
Enjoy the rest of your day, visitor.
