== History ==

Spent a lot of time after his degree finished  contributing to YSTV's software, hardware and infrastructure.  This includes developing the current webcam logging/distribution software (Autumn 2012,) consolidating switches and refreshing the network patch bays (Easter 2013) and coordinating the move to the *.ystv.york.ac.uk domain for all our machines (ongoing).

Between September 2012 and March 2013, Alex was technical staff at TFTV, assisting with IT infrastructure and software support, as well as light TV studio assistance.  As a side effect, YSTV has been indefinitely loaned a backup tape library from TFTV, which is shared between YSTV and URY (who provided the LTO3 tapes.)

He primarily exists at the society to be friendly, and provides technical support (specifically with audio) as an afterthought.
