Michael Schuster is an engineer at Adobe Systems who was responsible for early development of Adobe Illustrator.
Adobe co-founder John Warnock spearheaded the Illustrator project, acting as the designer, while Schuster implemented the architecture and key features, such as the pen tool and display rasterizer.[1][2] Steve Schiller later joined the development team.[3]
Schuster adapted the rasterizer from Illustrator into a separate codebase named the "Smart Art Library" (SAL) which formed the basis of project "Carousel", which would eventually become Adobe Acrobat.[3][4]
