“I have worked with Gaurav for good four years in Gojek and have seen him scale the QA automation. He is knowledgeable and understands the right tool for the right job. In a startup environment, he was constantly challenged by the scarcity of bandwidth coupled with stringent timelines, but I was constantly amazed by the ease with which he could deliver. One thing that really set him apart is his documentation skill and it wouldn't be wrong for me to say he started the polished docs movement in Logistics. He provided excellent support not only for the production issues but raised valid design concerns during the early stage of the project. He is proficient in Java, Kotlin, and Python and used each of the languages in the development of the platform-wide framework for which he was really the pioneer. Overall I would say, he is a fantastic asset to have if you have challenging needs of scaling your QA team and automation to the next level.”

“I had the privilege of working with Gaurav while working at Gojek. He is one of the most talented engineers that I have come across, with extremely well developed technical skills, leadership skills and inter-personal skills. Gaurav is also highly motivated to share his knowledge and experience with his colleagues, thus playing the role of a mentor to hundreds of engineers at Gojek. Long story short, Gaurav raises the bar of everyone who works with him. Thanks for your contributions to the Gojek engineering community and all the best for your future endeavors!”

“Gaurav is an accomplished hands-on engineering leader, most recently spearheading overall backend automation efforts at Gojek. This backend automation framework is used by hundreds of engineers and continuously tests multiple service deploys happening across the Gojek ecosystem. He was also mentoring the entire SDET team of Logistics, involving multiple mobile apps and large number of backend microservices. He has a wide range of contributions to Mobile UI Automation, Performance Testing and Reporting/Tooling Development in Gojek. I was quite fortunate to work with him closely on scaling backend automation efforts in Gojek. Right from the inception, he set up the correct process and practices for the community which made sure engineers felt welcome to contribute, help each other on their problems and remain engaged. He reviewed RFCs/ADRs in detail, providing valuable insights on how things could be improved better, and always keeping in mind future scalability and maintainability concerns. His technical documentation standards are unrivalled, and it was a pleasure to read his RFCs, and he has the uncanny ability of being able to explain complex technical concepts in very simple terms. Last but not the least, he has got the gift of the gab, and kept the audience mesmerized at engineering showcases and presentations. This is also accentuated by the fact that he has several conference talks at premier world class conferences, including Appium and Selenium Conferences. In addition, he has a very warm and approachable personality, I always had very fun and fulfilling conversations with him, and he would always share his best advice on work/non-work matters. He was a role model in Gojek, and would absolutely love to work with him again. He will be an asset for any organization he joins and would definitely take their quality engineering efforts to the next level!”

“Gaurav is an amazing collaborator and a leader. I hired for his team at Gojek and it was a pleasure working with him. He leaves a great impression on candidates and they actually look forward to working with him given his breath of knowledge and his compassionate attitude. He actively writes blog, participates in talks and conferences outside the organisation which helps in building his personal as well the company's brand image.”

“Humble, Knowledgeable and Passionate is the best way to describe Gaurav. I have worked with Gaurav on multiple initiatives ranging from gojek wide backend framework to standalone python tools to boost test engineering and in each of them he would break the problem into multiple small tasks, tackle them one at a time, make realistic assumptions and vouch for clean coding practices. Gaurav is also a patient listener and always encourages his colleagues and appreciates every bit of effort put by others which makes him an awesome manager to work with. Gaurav's way of working is the blueprint which everyone should follow to model their testing and leadership practices”

“Gaurav is one of the finest SDET Managers I have come across in my career. He was the automation guru in the team and pretty much single handedly setup most of the automated testing framework across the entire stack, before he started to manage a team of QA engineers. His commitment to the tradecraft is commendable, outside of regular work he passionately maintains blogs and participates in conferences to help the wider community. At Gojek he constantly strived to improve the efficiency and productivity of the entire team by ensuring that we were following best SDLC practices, wherever he found gaps he proposed changes and introduced new processes across all functions. I worked with Gaurav on some important and time sensitive projects where he was involved right from the design and planning phases all the way to signing off on final releases, his attention to detail helped catch a lot of potential issues at the very early stages thus saving a lot of development and testing efforts later on. Gaurav is an invaluable asset to any team and I would definitely work with him again.”

“Gaurav was a enthusiastic and curious tester. These are some of the very basic traits required for becoming a great tester. He had always been able to identify all the scenarios pertaining to the requirements. He has always been a tester who will go beyond the identified test cases or scenarios to do a set of unorthodox testing and often that has paid off great dividends. Often unseen but critical defects are identified in such unconventional ways and Gaurav was one who always came up with something like that. A testers life is hard due to the long waiting hours for the fix to be deployed and then testing. He has displayed his patience to wait as well as to work on off hours to complete his work and thus co-operating with the developers. Gaurav used to encourage discussions with the Developers to understand the design the developers are coming up with and also to walk them through the scenarios he has identified so as to reduce the gaps among each other. He has always shown that he is team player and a great person.”

“Gaurav was a fantastic person to work with. He was very loyal towards his work. He was result driven and open minded team player & customer focused colleague.I appreciate for him quickly learning MS Coded UI and showing productive result on automation front. I liked working with him. ”

“Gaurav is an excellent contributor to our Analytics testing team. He is very thorough in completing commitments and does a great job asking for clarification when necessary. Gaurav has demonstrated a willingness to help out however needed and has taken the initiative to learn CodedUI so he can contribute to our test automation coverage. He is well liked and is a valued member of the team.”

“Gaurav is a complete work-oriented person. He sticks to the basics without complicating things. He strives to finish work within the allotted time and does not deter from the task until its complete. Apart from his professional life, he's a cool person with a good sense of humor to hang out with.”

“Gaurav is a very hard working person and good team member. It is always pleasure working with him. I was impressed by his involvement in all team meetings and he has an excellent experience in QA methodologies. Gaurav is always enthusiast in learning new things and he is always dependable person in stressful environment also. Gaurav never missed his deadlines to complete his task and his QA metrics/Test Summary results are very useful for the management. Gaurav has excellent knowledge on Agile process, SDLC, Automation tools and SQL. As a QA Lead, I am always enjoy to work with Gaurav.”

“Gaurav is a strong test professional. He did a great job on learning and testing executions for our diverse and complex energy enterprise solutions over smart grid. This is non-trivial and actually difficult as there are lots of moving parts in agile development. Also, he is very patient and flexible to adapt changes while never hesitate to ask for requirement clarifications,”
