3 people have recommended Balaji
"Balaji has great communication skills and understanding of IT and business perspectives of Quality
Assurance functions for IT. His understanding of both perspectives allows him to talk with customers about
the testing requirements to understand what is to be tested and why. He then takes the requirements and user
story and offers suggestions and improvements to the request that fit within the desired development time
frame. These additions add value to what is being developed and grow the organization with sustainable
development."
— Scott Bramwell, TOPSS System Applications/Programmer Analyst II, Trane, worked with Balaji at Trane
"As QA & Testing Manager at Ingersoll Rand Climate Solutions organization, I worked with Balaji for
around 3 years. He was initially one of our offshore testers and did a great job with both manual and
automated testing for the applications within our scope. He eventually ended up acting as the primary
offshore test lead, working with our onsite Cognizant contractors to manage the work assignments for
offshore team. We had around 20 applications in our scope, with varying levels of testing activity. Balaji was
able to manage this well, especially given it wasn't necessarily his original role on our team. He was a great
asset to our team when I managed the group, and he continues to work well with the current manager. Nice
work, Balaji!"
— Kathi Johnson, Software QA Leader - Climate Solutions IT, Ingersoll Rand, was a consultant or
contractor to Balaji at Cognizant Technology Solutions
"I've worked alongside Balaji for close to five years now. In these years, I've seen him not only excel at
the core elements of his job, like quality assurance and test automation, but also handle tasks that extend
well beyond the scope of his role, like team management, resource planning and so on. One thing that's so
remarkable about Balaji is his ability to take up new projects that are both difficult and critical to help out his
peers. There’s no doubt that Balaji would be an asset to any team."
