About Nikhil Raina

Precision fuels progress—wherever technology meets transformation, clarity and execution create impact.\"With over 13 years of experience across enterprise ecosystems like JD Edwards, SAP, Salesforce CPQ, AEM, and Marketo, I specialize in building scalable, compliant, and automation-focused IT delivery models. My background spans the Medical and Financial domains, where I’ve supported business-critical transformations and driven innovation across complex platforms. Whether navigating hybrid methodologies or tailoring automation strategies, I bring a structured yet flexible approach to solution delivery, governance, and risk management.During my tenure at Stryker, I worked across global portfolios valued at over $10M, implementing SIT/UAT/Regression cycles for international rollouts and driving compliance through CP2/CP3 documentation for the GX Project. A standout initiative involved designing a utility that dynamically estimated test efforts—cutting test cycles by 95%. My contributions earned me the prestigious “Quality First” award at Ekatram 2024 (from 300+ employees) and a “Customer Excellence” award for global delivery success.Earlier roles at Cognizant and Optum included shaping Salesforce automation strategies, delivering Agile in-sprint testing, and embedding CI/CD practices to streamline QA. From testing platforms like AS400, Stella, and Signature to working on complex Order-to-Cash processes, my hands-on experience extends across architecture, compliance, and execution. I’ve collaborated with diverse teams and vendors across geographies to ensure projects land on time—with quality at the core.Certified in DevOps, ISTQB, and Microsoft Power BI, I bring an analytical mindset rooted in business alignment, reporting, and scalability. As a national-level athlete in cricket, baseball, and softball, I infuse discipline, leadership, and resilience into my professional journey. With Australian PR in hand and immediate availability, I’m committed to contributing meaningfully to forward-thinking, high-impact IT programs.
