Description

As the founding CEO and President of John Bordynuik Inc (JBI), John Bordynuik is responsible for driving corporate strategy, business development, hardware and software design and sales. Bordynuik's passion for data recovery began 18 years ago, when he first designed custom hardware to recover data from old DECTapes and hard disk platters. He went on to be the Director of Research & Development for the Ontario Provincial Legislature for ten years. Bordynuik next embarked on the pursuit of the "Holy Grail" of all software, seeking a vital piece of software that had been lost by the founders of the world's largest software company. He was able to successfully recover this software for its creators. Bordynuik also fully restored their 1975 PDP10 "“ a computer that consisted of more than 10,000 severely damaged components, and required all newly designed memory systems -- in less than a month. In the process of this restoration project, he designed a complete replacement memory subsystem for the PDP10. Ready to embark on his own venture, Bordynuik returned home to Niagara Falls, Ontario and incorporated JBI in 2006. He built the company organically, through strong client relationships and an impeccable reputation, while developing sophisticated magnetic storage devices to recover legacy data. His clients include MIT, the U.S. Army, NASA, Fortune 500 company founders, professors from academic institutions worldwide, and countless public and private companies. Bordynuik's work with MIT led him to be given a position as a Collaborative Researcher in the Math and Computation Group of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL). Bordynuik was able to solve a major problem for the university, which had thousands of unreadable 30-40 year old legacy computer tapes. He addressed MIT's legacy computer data issues by developing highly sophisticated technology to read these tapes and has since recovered all of the research stored on more than 10,000 tapes. Bordynuik's expertise lies in being able to create products that optimize and incorporate as much intelligence as possible in applications that are as inexpensive as possible. His designs are elegant, robust and efficient, and are not limited to data recovery. Over many years, Bordynuik designed a custom CPU core that is used in many mission critical applications. In 2005, Bordynuik was granted a broad US patent (7,115,872) for a dirty bomb detector. He continues to innovate and develop niche market products for JBI. He is filing patents to protect technologies JBI has developed to recover data from old media. Katie Matkowski is a member of JBI's senior management team and serves as Profit Center Manager: Mobile Data Recovery. Matkowski was responsible for successfully planning and managing the development of JBI's 40-foot mobile data recovery container, which enables JBI to read and normalize high volumes of tapes at any client or government site. She continues to manage this department, as well as planning and executing new data recovery projects. Matkowski is also responsible for researching, planning and executing acquisitions on behalf of the company.
