My name is Alexander. I am an American informatician, game designer and programmer.
Early life
My name is Alexander Nicholi. I was born Marshall Alexander Rose on March 6th, 1998 on Fort Sill, Oklahoma to parents native to Princeton, West Virginia. My mother was an active duty Army machinist when she had me, and is now a factory worker. My father is a musician and private tutor of guitar and piano. They and I came from a 2,300-years-long unbroken line of poor Anglo-Britonnic yeomen who never intermixed with anyone else after the Anglo-Saxon assimilation. Originally serfs in the greater London area, they emigrated to the New World variously as indentured servants working Virginian plantations for their time. Upon their service completion, they fled into the Appalachian wilderness and eked out a modest existence undisturbed by the world for 300 years. My parents were the first to leave in the 1990s, making me the first to grow up outside our hinterland, although I have siblings who grew up within.
As a child I was enamored with computers. I had countless old machines from thrift shops running various versions of Windows, and as I grew older I learned to use Linux over secure shell. I taught myself a great deal of programming technique, and by age 17 I was doing baremetal programming in C and assembly for the Game Boy Advance. This set the stage for my later research work concerning sustainable computing and the creation of C*.
On December 7th, 1941, a day which will live on in infamy, 2017, I wed my husband from Indonesia, a son of a Jakartan advertising magnate and former San Franciscan international student. He later attended college together with me and has had a presence in many of my business endeavours from the start, including ARQADIUM, which I started with him shortly before we met.
Career
In the past, I have worked white collar at Vurbox and Unai. These days I do consulting work relating to my informatics expertise. I can do what most low-level programmers cannot do: dictate and explain it in high-level design strokes, up to and including productisation. Contact me if you want to know my rate.
