Venkat is a highly skilled senior test analyst. He had worked to deliver complex testing solutions often under extreme pressure to meet very tight deadlines. An excellent communicator, he also has very strong technical skills. Venkat was a pleasure to work with and I hope to do so again in the future.

I have worked with Venkat at Virgin Australia as a Test Lead on one of the most complex IT Projects I have ever worked on. Venkat reports to me directly for any day-to-day testing tasks assigned to him. I must say Venkat is very conscientious and dedicated to any work assigned to him. Venkat is well versed with all Software Testing methodologies, easy to work with, very receptive to any feedback provided to him, has excellent communication skills, is hardworking and is always eager to learn new skills. I would highly recommend Venkat for any Senior Test Analyst role and would love to work with him again in near future.
