About Auroralinx
OUR OBJECTIVES
The Auroralinx Northern Tech Collective’s vision is to bring collaboration between community, academia, business, and government in the fields surrounding Information Technology and Computer Science.
We do this by creating a discussion forum where people having an interest in these disciplines can discuss items of mutual interest.
By sharing ideas, issues, and opportunities, it will help keep the participants abreast of current developments in these fields and help enhance the attractiveness of working in the Prince George region. We will facilitate the growth of the technology skillset in Northern BC. We feel that professionals in these sectors can contribute to the innovation and automation our world has experienced, and as the north embraces technology we see great opportunities that are both exciting and engaging.
Keeping participants abreast of current developments will inform computer science program growth for secondary and post-secondary institutions in the north while connecting professionals in the area by providing a platform for networking.

Larry Chrobot
Larry believes technology doesn’t need to be a scary thing, but embraced in business. Surround yourself with brilliant technology professionals and watch them fly! With over 30 years of experience in business related to natural resources, GIS, sawmilling, transportation and medical software, he wants to help grow the northern BC technology community by encouraging those in industry, government, and education to come out, network and collaborate.
You can find him refereeing on the pool deck across the country as a national swim official – which all started out with supporting local swim teams. When not close to the pool, he spends his time completing board of director duties, teaching swim officiating clinics, curling and spending time with his family travelling or simply enjoying a campfire.
Mark Vejvoda
Mark is a technology enthusiast with over 25 years of professional experience in software engineering and his desire is to see the technology community thrive in our local community.
As a Senior Lead Architect for UKG, a multi-national IT company, he has an immense understanding on how technology works and isn’t afraid to experiment with new hardware, software in any environment – business or pleasure!
When he’s not hacking on an open source project or a raspberry Pi or creating You Tube content, Mark enjoys an active lifestyle hiking around the region with his family and volunteering within various community groups. Always there to lend a helping hand, he is an early adopter and has a fun and influential style about him that you can’t help but want to listen to him talk about tech. We are sure that if you live in or have visited Central/Northern BC, you no doubt have seen him driving his EV to all corners of the province!
