Top SchoolCarlos Servin is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience at Microsoft, focusing on high-performance media systems, encoding pipelines, and AI-driven experiences for Office products. He combines systems-level expertise—demonstrated by low-level Windows interop and runtime work in CoreRT and the .NET runtime—with product-facing engineering on video encoding, streaming, and 4K playback features. An active open-source contributor to prominent .NET repos (dotnet/runtime, dotnet/sdk, dotnet/performance, and dotnet-api-docs), he has improved core SDK behavior, compression handling, and automated API diff tooling used in releases. Comfortable across C#, C++, and scripting for build automation, he also brings a history of full-stack and startup leadership from founding a software shop and shipping production-critical features. Colocated in Bothell, WA, he blends pragmatic performance engineering with clear documentation and example-driven developer advocacy.
