Summary
John Barton is an Intensive Care Registered Nurse and seasoned technologist who pivoted from nearly two decades leading product engineering and interactive experiences to clinical nursing in New York. He brings a rare blend of large-scale software leadership—CTO experience building full-stack, test-driven systems and hardware-integrated interactive installations—and hands-on acute and emergency clinical care across multiple hospitals. Equally comfortable designing cloud-native commerce platforms and orchestrating real-time, sensor-driven installations, he has led cross-disciplinary teams, integrated complex third-party systems, and taught maker- and fabrication-focused programs for major brands. That technical breadth informs a systems-oriented approach to patient care, triage, and workflow improvement in high-pressure environments. With formal nursing credentials completed after a long creative-technology career, he combines clinical rigor with a maker’s curiosity and operational leadership.
