2019-20
Marks was somehow poached by URY very early on and barely got involved with YSTV, with the exception of teaching Ben Allen the basics of React.js at 3am one night, which lead to the two of them developing a lasting bond of friendship, collaboration, and fuckary, and producing many mistakes genuine technical innovations over the years. They were Graphics Op (read: F5-pusher) at ERN 2020, and also the proud owner of the USB stick that gave Ben a heart attack as he tried to get the stream going on zero hours of sleep.
2020-21
lol
2021-22
Somehow, despite (or perhaps due to?) moving away from York to Manchester for a year in industry, 2021-22 became the year that Marks switched allegiances and gave worrying amounts of his free time to YSTV, including being elected as Treasurer.
Marks worked alongside Ben Allen to produce a graphics program for Roses 2022 using browsers inside OBS.
2022-23
Upon their triumphant return from Manchester, Marks dove head-first into YSTV, not only doing whatever a treasurer does (money stuff idk) but also becoming a very prolific techie, contributing in at least some way to most big broadcasts and OBs in first term.
