Sil Pasambuna
Software Engineer at Microsoft
Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Summary
🤩
RockstarSil Pasambuna is a software engineer at Microsoft with five years of experience building cross-platform multimedia and backend systems. He contributes to prominent open-source VA-API projects (intel/libva and intel/libva-utils), where he expanded Windows support, added Win32 device integration, improved tracing and memory-type handling, and brought MSVC/MinGW CI to previously Linux-centric builds. Comfortable across automation, QA, and backend development, he focuses on making low-level video acceleration code robust and portable. Based in Makassar, Indonesia, he combines production-grade engineering with a knack for refactoring legacy C/C++ tests into portable, standards-compliant code—an uncommon strength that reduces platform friction in multimedia stacks.
