I'm Sivakumar Ganesan

Siva has been a strong contributor to our COE team. He is very open and honest with his messaging and has calm but effective approach to his communication. With his articulation and strong technical background he demonstrates his expertise convincingly. He takes the lead on getting things done and is very reliable. I would gladly have Siva in my team anytime. I would recommend him for any role where conscientiousness and results are required.

Siva and I worked together in Scotiabank’s QA Centre of Excellence for a little over one and half years; Siva was instrumental in setting up a Continuous Testing infrastructure for the QA teams and led several initiatives in enhancing and improving our automation frameworks and tools. I found Siva to be an amazing leader in QE practices and an excellent team member to work with; he brings with him a positive attitude and a perfect balance between technical and non-technical worlds. I look forward to working with Siva again in the future and wish him the best in his current and future endeavours. I recommend Siva to anybody looking to build a great QE team and improving their software QA processes.

I worked with Siva for 4+ years and HIGHLY recommend him for any role in QA (Functional or Automation) or any Leadership-oriented role in general. While the work relationship was customer/client, he was really a team member and a highly effective one at that. Siva was a leader to the team (both Onshore and Offshore), drove innovation within our team, communicated effectively (both up and down the chain), and could be relied on to help in any situation. He learned quickly, retained and utilized that knowledge, effectively passed on that knowledge to others on the team, and in general made the team and everyone around him better. He consistently made positive impacts on our projects. Siva was a true TEAM member and I would thoroughly enjoy working with him again.

Siva combines Thought Leadership, Team Leadership, Strong Technical Abilities, Test Solution Architecture and Design along with Test Implementation. He was instrumental in leading the transformation of my organization from Waterfall to Agile methodology. Siva established standards for Gherkin, trained the onsite and offshore staff on it in addition to Selenium Java, established the structures for SVN and Maven, integration with Cucumber and Jenkins for automated execution. Within 8 months, we successfully transitioned a staff of 50+ testers into Hybrid Functional/Automation test engineers who achieved 80%+ In Sprint User Story automation. I would highly recommend Siva for any Leadership role in IT.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Siva. He's an exceptional and dedicated individual. Siva has a flair in team leadership; complete knowledge and command on tools and software; brings in an undeniable acumen on the projects he delivered. We worked and delivered some amazing projects. He does his homework thoroughly on his team and clients alike. Siva puts his team on the pedestal, a quality rarely seen in such an agile industry.

Sivakumar is a dedicated and professional tester who is hugely reliable. What makes him stand out for me is his ability to learn (and prove it through asking further questions) in order to facilitate his testing. I recommend him highly, and would happily work with him again in future.

Siva is a great leader and has huge influence over his team. He strives hard to bring quality to QA processes and practices. He is known to motivate his fellow colleagues and earned lot of respect over the years. He is one of the most knowledgeable person I have known. He is the person to go to for any technical aspects of a process. He always think to automate any time consuming work and helped in developing lot of automation tools. He is definitely an asset to any company he works for.

I am blessed to get Siva as my Test Lead. He sets clear expectations from every individual in the team and provides timely feedback in a way that motivates me to work and learn many processes and tools. He has a lot of respect in the team and was one of the most trusted resources to go to for any technical\process related questions.

Sivakumar is always dedicated in service. His key strength stands to be his core understanding of the expectations. Besides the commitment made, he walks through extra miles in delivery. Highly enthusiastic team player. Effective in managing crisis situations.

Sivakumar is a skilled IT professional in the area of Software Testing. Hold good track record for his contribution in Quality engineering and assurance. He would be an asset to any organization and team.
