Jack McDougal – Montreal

I enjoy merging old and vintage pieces with modern tech.

I am an autodidactic Montreal born builder with an excessive number of interests and hobbies. This could explain my tendency to start and not finish projects! I enjoy merging old and vintage pieces with modern technology, I am a self taught IT junkie and open source fanatic with a budget homelab.
I am a Music lover because of its ability to shape our mood. I appreciate a hi quality listening experience but try not to get caught up in the craziness of the “Hi-Fi” audio space.
My passion for technology has also me spending too much time on an overly complicated home automation system, but I love the challenge. Also worth mentionning, I am a bit of a privacy wingnut…
