John D. Roush

John Roush is a California native, community volunteer and computer scientist. He has been a software research and development executive since 1993. His career began with a scholastic extension at IBM's Log Gatos Research Laboratories (California) in 1978 on the IBM 360 mainframe. Using APL, Roush developed a proof of concept for a nationwide real-time distributed computing methodology which was quickly adopted as proprietary for IBM's internal use. Over the years, his career focused on design, improvement and management of other large-scale computing systems (1,000 - 500,000+ regular users) which are primarily based on what is commonly known today as client–server and Internet transaction and communication technologies.
