Mike Houser is a Senior Technical Program Manager with 13 years at Adobe and over three decades in software engineering, known for bridging complex technical partnerships and driving large cross-team programs. He combines deep engineering chops—release engineering, installers, digital signing, and Python automation—with program-level ownership of strategic relationships with Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter. At Adobe he modernized build and release systems using containerized clean-build pipelines and ran prerelease seed programs and developer support contracts to accelerate integration with platform partners. Previously he led engineering teams and product initiatives from installers to imaging codecs, and even founded an iOS game studio, giving him hands-on product, architecture, and delivery experience. He holds an MS in Mathematics from UMass Amherst, which underpins his analytical approach to scalability and process improvements. Based on his track record, he excels at surfacing cross-team dependencies early and turning complex technical constraints into pragmatic, repeatable delivery systems.
