You'll find it extremely hard to find a more diligent and knowledgeable Automation Engineer than Kaustav and not to forget he is extremely approachable and friendly. His ability to multi-task and self-manage his work is brilliant. Kaustav played a pivotal role in developing and improving the existing Automation framework. As a Lead Engineer, Kaustav was instrumental in winning projects for GE Digital. He was the brain behind many successful POC's. Playing foosball would never have been fun without Kaustav. Kaustav would be an asset to any team and I highly recommend him.
Kaustav is highly technical with his deep framework and product knowledge which made him excellent in his white box testing. He has always shared his knowledge and helped people in the team. As a QA lead he had been highly supportive and transparent in his interactions to build a performing team.

A smart person who can understand any domain and technology without any difficulties.

I have known Kaustav for over 2 years and had a pleasure to work with him during my tenure at Testing CoE in GE Digital. As a CoE, we focused on bringing best tools and practices in Test automation to our Customers and Kaustav was always ahead of the curve in understanding the Test automation tools landscape and how it would help solve our customer problems. His in depth technical skills whether its Java, Selenium, Jenkins, Bamboo, Test infra setup on cloud (To name a few) are exemplary and has always helped team solve tough challenges in DevOps/CI/CD space.

Kaustav is every manager's dream employee. He is someone whom the whole team can count on and he will never disappoint. His technical skills and his desire to keep learning are exemplary. He worked in my team for 4 years and I saw him grow tremendously from leadership standpoint. He was a go-to person for the team to resolve complex technical issues. He was the main architect of the test automation framework and managed the CI capability of the team almost on his own. He is extremely detail oriented and has a wonderful work ethic. The whole team looked up to him. I and the team had a difficult time the day he announced his decision to leave. He is a must-have kind of employee in every test automation team and I strongly recommend him. I would very much look forward to an opportunity to have him in my team again.
Kaustav and I have been working closely to upgrade QA teams in my group. On the Backend side, automation tests now dish out a neat report that is easy to process in decision making meetings. The tests are modular and easy to reuse for new scenarios and by other teams. On the Android app side, there have been multiple enhancements: (a) manual QA members have been upskilled to SDET by reserving their weekly cycles for automation activities, (b) pCloudy automation framework is in place, (c) Dev testing is enforced to reduce QA team's cycles on easily reproducible bugs.On both Backend and App, "non automatable" tests have been converted to automated by reframing them to suit the available tools. Kaustav's impact on team members' upskilling and overall team process upgrade is most appreciated.
