     I'm Mark Galaszkiewicz, and I'm a MacTech who is also a fan of Linux and Windows.

     I work as a Technologist for the Interaction Design Program, Experiential Design Program, Digital Product Design Program and Graphic Design Program.  I also administer servers for the Faculty of the Arts. I have taught network and database courses for CCIT & IXD.  I've worked at Sheridan for almost 30 years, 8 of which in FAST supporting Windows and Linux operating systems, and the latter 12 supporting macOS and specialized hardware in the Arts.  I've supported servers, desktops and laptops as well as working on network installations, software development and unix scripting.  I still do some side work as a Technican in the industry at my own computer service company.  I also run my family's cottage park in Port Elgin.

     Off work I'm interested in playing Padel, ultimate frisbee, road trips to Mexico, motorcycle riding, windsurfing, skiing, IPTV, home theater, home automation and alternative music.  I listen to new wave, hip-hop, punk, ska, and classical.  80's retro is my jam.  I'm working myself up to running a half-marathon, but my ticwatch seems to disagree.

    Currently I'm working on projects using ardiunos, raspberry pi's, VR headsets and retro gaming emulation.  My own long term personal project is to build a WWVB or CHU radio clock with nixie tubes, that and a Grey-Hoverman antenna.  I love spending time with my three kids, playing video games and road-tripping.  Got a question, I'm happy to help.
