John Sloan is a freelance product developer specializing in real-time and highly concurrent systems: the very small (embedded), the very large (symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessor and multicore), and the very spread out (distributed). He has worked in the academic, big science, commercial, and military and intelligence sectors. At Wright State University, he led a systems administration and network engineering group, introducing the campus to UNIX and the Internet. While at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, he was the head of the section responsible for that national lab’s supercomputers, mass storage system, and server farm. While at Lucent Technologies and later Avaya, John worked as a firmware and software engineer on teams to develop and ship six different successful commercial products and major features, working on some for as many as six release cycles. John has published an article in the Proceedings of the IEEE, an entry in the Encyclopedia of Computer Science, and many conference papers and technical reports. He is the inventor of two patents. John has served on both industry and academic advisory panels, has been an invited speaker and panelist, and has served as a visiting scientist and consultant domestically and abroad. He has worked with development groups in such far-flung locales as China, India, Australia, Scotland, Ireland, and New Jersey. He has taught university courses in real-time and embedded software design at the undergraduate and graduate level. He has M.S. and B.S. degrees in Computer Science from Wright State University in Dayton Ohio. He entertains his friends by writing under the pen name Chip Overclock, a registered trademark. John is currently the sole employee of the Digital Aggregates Corporation, a firm he founded in 1995. Due perhaps to his broad skill set, he has been described by former managers as "a renaissance man" and as "unfocused". His favorite thing to do is ship a product.
