Kalaivani Kanagarajan

I am a results-oriented Software Quality Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing, developing, and validating ETL processes and data warehousing solutions for large financial, healthcare, and insurance clients.

I have implemented pragmatic test strategies and automation that reduced manual testing effort by 50%, increased test coverage by 30%, and helped decrease post-release defects by 20%, while improving application response time by 25% through performance analysis and optimization.

I work across the full testing lifecycle — from test strategy, planning and case design to execution, data validation, reconciliation and reporting — using tools such as Ab Initio, SSIS, PEGA PRPC, Business Objects, Cognos, Selenium, Karate, Postman and SQL-based validations. I hold PEGA CMBB certification and am familiar with Tableau, Power BI and Excel Power Query for reporting.

I lead and mentor cross-functional QA teams within Agile environments, create test metrics and documentation, and drive continuous improvement in test coverage and quality practices. I am committed to delivering high-integrity data solutions and measurable quality gains for stakeholders.
