About Technology 83
I’m Mike Leksinski, founder of Technology 83, a Vancouver-based venture rooted in over two decades of IT and audiovisual expertise. Alongside my full-time IT career, I launched this company to deliver innovative solutions—specializing in digital transformation, custom systems, and immersive technology for businesses and residences. My passion for tech began early, building computers as a kid, exploring Bulletin Board Systems in the ‘90s, and even launching my own short-lived BBS with a single modem. That curiosity evolved into creating my first website reviewing Super Bowl commercials and experimenting with projectors for homemade theater setups.
My professional journey includes a pivotal moment in 2010 at a Denver trade show, where I connected with a smart home automation pioneer—an encounter that deepened my commitment to cutting-edge AV and automation. Today, through Technology 83, I blend this hands-on background with professional-grade execution, collaborating with local trades to deliver projects like motion-based flight simulators, surround sound home theaters, and optimized streaming setups. Our focus is on innovative design, consulting, and project management tailored to Vancouver’s unique needs.
Community Impact
At Technology 83, we’re committed to giving back. I volunteer and serve on the board of Trout Lake Little League, where my kids play. We transformed their Hitathon fundraiser by adapting a digital platform with real-time tracking and online donation portals, raising $150,000 over four years. Portions of those funds supported Kidsport, Vancouver Canadians Foundation, and Covenant House Vancouver. This solution’s success inspired other leagues and sports associations, collectively generating over $500,000 for youth programs with features like live leaderboards—showcasing our ability to blend technology with community impact.
