SKILLS
ABOUT J. MICHAEL SHEARER
With nearly three decades of experience at the intersection of technology, creativity, and leadership, I am passionate about leveraging innovative solutions to address both \"small problems\"—such as optimizing consumer experiences—and \"large problems\"—like advancing social and environmental justice. I believe in using technology not just as a tool for business success, but as a force for the common good.As Vice President at Get The Picture Corporation, our team delivers magical experiences to over 10 million tourists annually, consistently achieving a >98% customer satisfaction rating through strong relationships and cutting-edge solutions. In 2010 we launched and, in 2023 sold, a product photography spinoff after photographing over products.My career began in a humble yet foundational way: biking floppy disks to and from my boss\' house at age 15. From developing simple Windows applications, I’ve grown to work across platforms (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS) and oversee large-scale cloud deployments on AWS. Some of my early code still survives today— a testament to the lasting impact of strong technical foundations.My recent MBA in Leadership and Management for the Common Good, with an international residency in Costa Rica, has reinforced my dedication to using technology to solve societal challenges. Whether it’s addressing social inequity, fostering environmental sustainability, or supporting marginalized communities, I am driven to create solutions that advance a healthier, more equitable world.I am particularly passionate about contributing to initiatives that promote social and environmental justice, and I thrive on leading digital transformations, solving complex business challenges, and advancing meaningful change through technology.
