That experience attracted the interest of the IT department at the Ontario Legislature and a year after he started his studies, he left Brock University for Queen's Park to work in research and development while also helping government officials find lost files and helping their computers talk to each other.

Bordynuik spent 10 years at Queen's Park and he used its training budget to further his education at a private university. In 2000, rich with experience and knowledge, Bordynuik went out on his own.

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.
