Simon Yan Email & Phone Number

Simon Yan is a QA Professional | Build Engineer - Ensuring exceptional software quality through effective collaboration, leadership, and continuous team improvement.. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Simon throughout my time at Harmonix and continued on after we were acquired by Epic and Simon has been consistently a steady mentor, colleague, and friend throughout. Simon has a deep knowledge and understanding of not only the QA practice, but what it means to work developing games. He carries with him a large volume of knowledge and it's in his ability to apply it for real-time solutions that constitutes what I view as Simon's superpower. Simon's ability to make an impact on a project can not be overstated. I've seen him dropped in along all areas of the development timeline and regardless, you see very quickly and clearly the improvements that come along in his wake. Simon defines "Get Things Done" as a mantra and you can always count on him to deliver. He's an incredibly talented and great person to work with and any team that Simon can be apart of would find themselves better off because of it!" and "Simon was my first manager at Harmonix and in the game industry as a whole, and I can't overstate how much of an asset and positive resource he was to me early in my career! He is a helpful, amiable, and resourceful colleague, a thoughtful and invested mentor, and one of the most apt and skilled QA experts I've known. I started out in QA and, from the very beginning, Simon was committed to acclimating me to the ropes of game development, QA testing, and building out my professional goals. He is someone who will always try to help with a request, will discuss solutions at length, and can be depended on for thorough answers to difficult questions. In the QA department, he was a pinch hitter for many of our engineers and tools developers; if tests needed to be run, data needed to be gathered, or research into problems needed to be performed, Simon was always ready to jump into it. Simon is a consummate professional, a jack of many trades, and a one-of-a-kind coworker. Any studio would be lucky to add him to the team!"
