Akash Simon
QA Lead &
GenAI Automation
Engineer
8+ years engineering quality at scale — from building GenAI QA agent infrastructure at Domino's 30+ EU storefronts to leading cross-geo teams in blockchain healthcare. I turn shift-left strategy into measurable business outcomes.
Who I Am
Quality as a Competitive Advantage
I don't just find bugs — I architect systems that prevent them, and now I build AI agents that redefine how testing happens.
I'm a GenAI-powered QA Lead with 8+ years of enterprise test automation, European regulatory compliance, and distributed team leadership.
At Domino's Pizza Enterprises, I pioneered GenAI QA agent infrastructure from the ground up — cutting manual test-authoring by ~40% per sprint while enforcing WCAG 2.1 AA, EN 301 549, and GDPR-aligned data governance across 30+ country storefronts in Europe, ANZ, and APAC.
Before that, at Solve.Care, I built a 10-engineer QA function from scratch in the blockchain healthcare space — delivering IEC 62304-compliant testing on a live patient-facing platform with near-zero defect escape rate.
I'm now open to senior QA architect, automation lead, or AI-augmented testing roles at companies where quality engineering drives product velocity.
