What Clients Speak
Hear directly from the people who have worked with Pankaj.
“I worked with Pankaj during fall 2025, when he did an end-to-end user testing project to support Suunta.ai development. I was impressed by the speed which he delivered the project, and the quality of findings he documented. Also, the documentation was pedantically done straight into GitHub, so it was easy for our dev team to pick the items up for fixing & further development. I can recommend him to any QA / testing role in digital environment, I think he will add value to any team he works with.”
Jussi Luhtasela
Head of Suunta.ai & Advisor, Apukuski.com
“He is organized, focused and very passionate about his work and always willing to learn and explore new areas. He is a person whom I can trust. He has got a lot of experience in IT and can work as an individual contributor and lead. Pankaj can fit in any role and help in the growth of organizations. He is a recent MBA graduate, and I wish all the best for his upcoming goals.”
Päivi Carina Käri-Zein
CEO, Trade Network Käri-Zein & Senior Lecturer, International Business and Sales, Haaga-Helia UAS
“Pankaj was an integral member of my Quality team for approximately 4 years. He was a skilled team member who was a mentor to not only his team but also cross functional team members. His assigned product areas were part of a very complex healthcare solution. Pankaj always had a positive 'can do' attitude. He was kind, mindful and respectful to all. He enjoyed learning and growing his skill set. Pankaj would be an asset to any team and if I had the opportunity I would definitely enjoy working with Pankaj again.”
