Alex is Leaving!

What's new with the Web Action Team

Author: Dave Krause

Published on: February 13, 2013

After serving the division for five years, Alex Zangeneh-Azam is leaving the Web Action Team. Alex has had his hand in the design of just about every web application created or refreshed since he arrived. He's also been our main customer service support person for Site Builder, Surveys, Blogs, Collaborative Tools and most recently, Adobe Connect.

Alex's cool temperament has earned him a great deal of praise over the years, and his departure will be felt by all of those he has assisted.

If you'd like to send Alex a note, his last day will be February 22, 2013. After that, he will be moving to his new PROGRAMMING position at UC Davis. After stewing in the web cave for the past five years, Alex has finally morphed into one of us. Rumor has it that he now spends his free time playing video games and eating hot pockets.

In terms of continuing to provide customer support as we seek to replace him, please use the IT Help system to request assistance, and we will do our best to provide help in a timely manner.

I'm definitely heartbroken, I've really relished the opportunity given to me here at ANR CSIT and have learned so much from my friends. I'm very happy to have come to know so many great people while fulfilling my role and hope to be able to provide the same for my future friends and clients. I hope to gain sufficient weight and become and expert at gaming, thought coupled with good eating habits and juicing tips from Karl I might just remain the same, who knows.
I know you'll be in good hands, that's what makes me feel better.
Cheers All!

Dude! Who’s going to help me with Adobe Connect now :-( ?.

You are one of the most patient people I have ever had the opportunity to work with and I appreciate that about you very much. You will surely be missed by many!

Thank you for everything, and I wish you the best in your new endeavor.

Dear everybody, thank you so much for your kind sentiments. I will really miss you all a ton! I certainly hope that the future people I work with will be as nice as you. This is my last day, and I thought I'd leave you with my first (and only) attempt at making a training video. I wonder why it didn't go over...
