Recommendations Received (LinkedIn)-

Chinmay Kulkarni | ETL Technical Head, Infosys Limited.

In the time that I have worked with Kiran in Infosys for the same banking project, I have been impressed by his thorough, creative approach to the work. Kiran is one of the few amazing test engineers I have known. As part of the Functional testing team, it is difficult to have a good bond with the developer as in they don’t like to hear about bugs being found in their code, but Kiran and I got along well. He was unparalleled in his ability to find extremely interesting bugs in the code, and I look forward to working with him in the future.

Yogesh Raut | Service Operations Specialist, NTT Data.

I would like to recommend *Kiran" for his dedication, professionalism, and ability to deliver good results with his proficiency. I always find him fully motivated, enthusiastic in his career.

Kiran is a workaholic and has always shown consistency & integrity in his professional work with the Organisation. I wish him a good career ahead, and I will always be there to help and mentor him.

Ayush Kumar | SDET, Paytm.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Kiran at Paytm, where he served as a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET). Kiran's expertise in Automation Testing, particularly with Rest Assured and Selenium, is unparalleled. His deep understanding of both manual and functional testing ensures that our products are thoroughly vetted for any potential issues.
Kiran's ability to identify critical bugs and automate complex test cases has been invaluable to our team. He is not only technically sound but also possesses strong problem-solving skills, which have helped us improve our testing processes significantly. His dedication and attention to detail are evident in the quality of work he delivers.
Kiran is also a great team player, always willing to share his knowledge and assist others in solving challenging problems. It has been an honor to work with him, and I highly recommend Kiran for any role that requires a highly skilled and reliable SDET.

Rachana Yennam | Senior Data Engineer, ING Australia.

Kiran has good knowledge of automation and manual testing. He understands the design and code well before he starts testing. His way of working always helps maintain a good relationship between a developer and tester. Thanks, Kiran that I got the opportunity to work with you. Keep up your good work, and I am sure you will excel in any future assignments you are tagged to!

Pankaj Dhandar | Associate Team Lead, Crownstack.

Kiran is an honest team player, sharp technologist, and a great mind. His ability to be the best in whatever he does. I strongly recommend Kiran for any top technology.
