Before pursuing acting, Daniel Kapinga worked in the information technology industry. His technology background is an important part of his professional history and later intersected with his interest in preserving older computer software and games.
His work with classic computer software reflects the intersection of technology, computing history, emulation and digital preservation.

ClassicReload

Game Preservation
Digital game preservation is important because software can become inaccessible when original hardware, operating systems, storage media and distribution systems disappear.
