Kevin Lynch is the new Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Adobe.

Before joining Adobe, Lynch held various positions at Macromedia, Inc. As the Chief Software Architect and President for Product Development, he masterminded the conception of a mobile and devices group. As General Manager, Lynch supervised the creation and development of one of the world’s leading web development products, the Macromedia Dreamweaver.

Before joining Macromedia in 1996, Lynch worked for General Magic, where he created a navigational interface designed for hand-held communicators. Lynch also came up with a user interface and then worked on Macintosh’s release of the FrameMaker software for Frame Technology.

A University of Illinois graduate, Lynch studied Interactive Computer Graphics and coordinated with the university’s Electronic Visualization Laboratory scientists and engineers. Lynch later on developed early applications for Macintosh like a desktop publishing program using today’s interface elements.

Lynch, often described as a Harry Potter look-alike, has three patents to his name and a couple more still pending. And if you’re wondering how Adobe came up with the Portable Document Format (PDF), Lynch is the right person to ask since he is responsible for its development.

In a recent interview, Lynch admitted his penchant for mobiles and that Adobe is currently working on a project for integrating Flash into mobiles.
