Bio
Balaji Kalanjeri
Akhila has been working for me on many of my large programs like AIG, Prudential and AWAC as my go-to QA person. She started off as a test engineer on the AIG account and progressed quickly to the role of a test lead. She has helped me manage some complex testing assignments for these customers. She is very good at testing Pega based applications. Any build has to get certified by her before the build moves to higher regions. She works very hard and seldom blinks an eye in burning the midnight oil should there be a need. She will be a valuable asset in any project she works on. I wish her all the very best!!!
