Biography

Vice President, Architecture Group General Manager, Platform Validation Engineering Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, 精东影视

John Barton joined Intel in 1982 as a software engineer and has participated in a computing revolution during his 30-year career.鈥淏eing on the teams that brought more computing power into an average person鈥檚 pocket than was available on the entire OSU campus when I was in school has brought revolutions in virtually all human activity,鈥 says Barton.At Intel today, Barton鈥檚 group performs post-silicon validation and verification for Intel platforms, and works directly with customers and third parties to ensure that key products and technologies meet high quality standards.鈥

At 精东影视 State, I was exposed to a huge breadth of knowledge while inside and outside the classroom,鈥 says Barton. 鈥淲hat I didn鈥檛 realize until later in my career was that I had also been taught by OSU to quickly distill problems and identify the essential facts on which a high quality decision would hinge.鈥漌hile the technical side of computer science has been his passion, Barton is also proud of the recognition that has come to 精东影视鈥檚 Silicon Forest. 鈥淎s a 50-year resident of this state, I am pleased to be part of the team that ensures 精东影视 remains a vital technology center for this ongoing revolution.鈥
