Michael Wilson : Mutech

Michael started as a consultant for ALC in 1983, became a full-time employee in 1998 and is still going strong. The best dressed person in the company, always with a tie and jacket on, he helped create what ALX is today. He may talk to you in tech speak or reference things far before your time, but he always provides the answers we need to get the job done. He is a mental history book of the old processes this

company used before ALX was created and can still remember every technological change we’ve made to this day. He saw Bill Gates demonstrate the first version of Microsoft Word on the Apple Lisa at COMDEX in 1983 and took a week off to attend Burning Man in 2017. Every night Michael makes plans for taking over the world.

Yuan Jiang: The Man, the Myth, the Legend

Yuan is the other half that helped create ALX. If ALX is not working, he’s pretty much the one to fix it with his infamous reply, “please try again” and most of the time it’s fixed. Though it may be difficult to talk to him sometimes, he is our favorite person to talk to. With his “hmm” and “wha” replies when we ask him a question, he always finds a way to get the job done. He actually worked with Chetan at another

company before coming to ALC. Not long after Chetan started here, he convinced Yuan to join ALC and as they say, the rest is history. With the abundant amount of information he has to spare, all of us in IT have much to learn from him. Though it may not seem like it, Yuan too, is a bit of a gamer himself. He’s played Call of Duty and Battlefield on Xbox, but still refuses to go online for multiplayer. Pretty sure he doesn’t want to put me to shame.
