Summary
🤩
RockstarJacob Su is a seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience specializing in backend systems, real-time media streaming, and build/release engineering. Based in Taiwan, he has contributed significant fixes and feature enhancements to high-profile open-source projects like SRS (a high-efficiency real-time media server) and Google's Filament rendering engine, demonstrating deep C++ expertise and practical knowledge of streaming protocols (RTMP, WebRTC, DASH). He reliably tackles platform-specific build issues—from Mac M2 compatibility to iOS/Android sample installs—showing a knack for making complex native codebases robust across environments. Jacob combines low-level systems work with pragmatic engineering judgment, improving core server logic, versioning, and API configuration for production-grade services. Colleagues can count on him for steady, detail-oriented contributions that bridge media pipeline internals and cross-platform build stability. A subtle strength is his ability to spot and fix non-obvious integration issues that prevent smooth deployment in diverse runtime environments.
