Gee....who has heard of Alexander N.? Well, he's actually been in business for
quite a while...his list of once and future employers includes Fuchi, Ares,
Aztlan (joy joy), Mitsuhama, Saeder-Krupp, Fairlight, Hayashi, and the like.
He specializes in "diverse solutions to diverse problems", and does everything
from security system specification and implementation to vehicle hardware
integration to Matrix troubleshooting and beyond. Lest this sound too broad,
the unifying principle here is "systems engineering", meaning understanding
what the parts are and how they're supposed to fit together for the desired
result. His personal specialty is electronics and CDS, and he likes to do
a lot of hands-on work (build/repair ahoy!) He contracts the decking, the
muscle, the armed vehicles, and so forth to a pool of trusted professionals
who in turn benefit from some of the cutting-edge tech he has access to. In
fact, Alex is the sort of person through whom companies might arrange a
"field test" of some piece of gear, knowing it will find its way to a
"good"
home.

While Alex is by no means the only person in his general line of work, I
conceive him as having built up a tidy reputation and a favorable dossier in
the "personell" offices of any of the major players that care. He's discrete,
quite competent, and conservative where excessive personal involvement in a case
is concerned. He also values his privacy and has made arrangements to have
tampering into his personal affairs be a nontrivial challenge. If any more
in-depth info is necessary, I can try to furnish it. =)
