Alex St. John, along with Craig Eisler and Eric Engstrom, created the original Microsoft DirectX technology platform. Alex became the Microsoft Windows Game technology evangelist for DirectX through his early work at Microsoft (1992-1997) to advance Windows as a dominant graphics and media platform. Formerly the Founder and Chairman of WildTangent software, an online video game developer and publisher, Alex was appointed in December, 2009 as the President and CTO of Hi5, a social networking site with an emphasis on on-line gaming. Alex is also a frequent contributor to Computer Power User magazine.[1][2] He described himself on USENET as "Microsofts dually{{sic}} appointed DirectRepresentative for this technology." He is one of the main subjects of the book Renegades of the Empire and is mentioned in Masters of Doom. In 2014, St. John published a presentation titled "Recruiting, training and retaining Giants" on his website for a group of tech company CEOs. Critics of the presentation used it to highlight the issue of the lack of diversity within Silicon Valley culture.[3] References1. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.informationtechnologyleaders.com/stvid.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2007-05-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020625130557/http://www.informationtechnologyleaders.com/stvid.html |archive-date=2002-06-25 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 2. ^http://www.rmitz.org/stjohn.html 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.vox.com/2016/4/19/11451092/alex-st-john-tech-recruiting-millennials-women|title=Everything wrong with Silicon Valley's bro culture in one gross presentation|last=Romano|first=Aja|website=Vox|access-date=2016-04-21}} External links
