Sathya Raj D

I'm a Senior QA Engineer and Silicon Validation Specialist with 12+ years of experience across mobile game testing, web platforms, and semiconductor validation. Currently at Intel (via UST Global), I validate cutting-edge technologies like XeSS 2 upscaling, Multi-Frame Generation, and GPU driver performance across AAA game titles using tools like PresentMon and Intel Graphics Software. Previously I've led QA for live mobile games at Scopely and Pole To Win, handling Unity SDK upgrades, WebGL migrations, and liveops testing.

I bring a strong mix of functional testing, performance benchmarking, and cross-platform expertise — and I'm now looking to take on more challenging roles in GPU/graphics validation or senior game QA.
