Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Scherotter is a creative systems architect and founder with three decades of cross-disciplinary experience designing and shipping immersive software and tooling. Based in Fairfax, CA, he blends architectural training with hands-on full-stack engineering to build products that connect creative workflows to scalable cloud platforms—most notably founding Galeryst, a procedurally generated 3D gallery platform integrated with Adobe Creative Cloud and Azure. His career spans deep technical roles at Microsoft—leading the Adobe partnership, building Sketch 360 and accessibility work for Xbox—and product and TPM leadership across media & entertainment programs. Michael is comfortable from C++ and OpenGL to Node.js, TypeScript, BabylonJS and generative AI, and he frequently bridges UX design, developer platforms, and partner engineering. He has a track record of turning prototypes into production, holding patents from his mind-mapping work and repeatedly shipping innovative integrations between creative tools and cloud services. Colleagues describe him as a polymath who discovers unexpected connections between design sensibilities and engineering pragmatism.
