Suddenly becoming aware of the fact that they would soon be leaving YSTV for good, they somehow had possibly their most prolific term in the society, despite being in their final year. They (co-)wrote several pieces of software (an entirely new internal site, and NaSTA-award-winning [[Badger]]) for the station that were used throughout the year. They finally produced a full show of their own ([[Game Night]]), decided to abandon it after its first season because it was too much work, were convinced to un-abandon it by [[Cameron Fox]], and then put even more effort into the second season (despite switching format to pre-recorded to reduce the amount of effort...). | Suddenly becoming aware of the fact that they would soon be leaving YSTV for good, they somehow had possibly their most prolific term in the society, despite being in their final year.

Come Roses, they realised that the incredibly janky spreadsheet that had somehow held together Roses 2023's crew scheduling would fall apart for 2024, and wrote Roses Scheduler, a piece of software to help manage it all (which went on to win Silver at the next NaSTAs). Their final contributions to YSTV were the most student media-y they could possibly be: shooting a Doctor Who spoof as the intro for the [[YUMAs]] 2024 in under 24 hours (with [[Cameron Fox|Cameron]]'s help), getting roped into DJ'ing Summer Ball (to save [[Jamie Parker-East]] from trying to do it in WebStudio), and editing [[Noughts and Crosses across Manchester]] (technically after graduating as it was over the summer). | |||

After (finally) graduating, Marks moved down to Cambridge to work in the cyber-security industry (funnily enough, alongside [[Matthew Stratford]], another former URY Computing Director). They still came back to York a couple times throughout the year to heckle, admire, and help the younger generation in equal measures. They also ended up helping out on the computing side remotely once or twice, including spinning up a replacement Internal Site on their domain when ystv.co.uk got suspended for the second time in a year, and spending far too long enhancing Roses Scheduler for Roses 2025. | |||
