Summary
Simona Kurňavová is a Product Engineer based in Prague with 8 years of experience building and maintaining Android applications and engineering workflows for security and consumer apps. She progressed from QA and automation at Avast into Android development and senior roles at Gen, where she worked across Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, Hilt/Koin and testing stacks while helping ship large-scale antivirus products like Avast Mobile Security and Norton 360. She has hands-on release management experience—publishing to Google Play, monitoring Crashlytics vitals, and running CI/CD pipelines—plus a track record of mentoring engineers and interviewing candidates. Simona pairs a formal background in software engineering and a master’s in artificial intelligence with practical product-minded engineering, evidenced by conference talks and internal workshops on Kotlin Multiplatform. Now at Rohlik.cz she applies this blend of QA rigor, Android expertise, and product focus to deliver reliable user-facing features. A detail that stands out: her early QA work led to establishing visual regression testing with Applitools, shaping her strong testing-first approach to development.
