APH Networks is run by a dedicated team of people passionate for technology responsible for various areas. Whether it is writing the reviews or reports, updating the news section, or administrating the technical side of the site, the APH Networks team works hard to ensure that everything goes smoothly. This is current weekly schedule of APH Networks:

Monday-Friday (Excluding American public holidays) - Technology news is published every morning before 10:00AM UTC -7.
Thursday Evening - The standard due date for new article previews.
Friday - New regular articles (Reviews, reports, etc) are made official and public.
Saturday - New weekly poll is published.

APH Networks consists of four different departments:

Administration department takes care of the financial issues, human resources and technical aspects of the website. Whether it's making sure all server bills are paid, domain name is renewed when required, advertising, PR issues, and making sure all the work is getting done in different departments, we do all the dirty work. The administration department also takes care of the web frontend and backend to make sure everything is up and running smoothly too.

Publications Division is the part where APH Networks is most known for to the reader. From working with manufacturers to arrange product for reviews, composing a review schedule, to actually writing the review -- which includes photos, testing, and the actual writing part -- as well as handing it to other members in the Publications Division for editing and quality control. We also research for reports, and use our creativity for other things such as writing April Fools articles. Basically, any article developed in-house is done by the Publications Division.

Technology News Division scouts the web for news and publishes them on the front page. Technology news is scouted for on a collection of news sites every weekday to ensure interesting news will be presented to the reader. Additionally, the news team also links to our affiliate's newly published items that are delivered to us via email from our large network of associated websites.

Community Forums Division is the team taking care of the forums. Generally, as APH Networks incorporates as little censorship as possible on every contributing member's opinions (Unless it's explicitly offensive content), the Forum Experience team does to make sure everything is smooth and organized -- like moving posts to the right place, helping members, deleting and banning spammers and spambots, and of course, editing outwardly inappropriate posts, if any.

The official team consists of eight members:

Jonathan Kwan (chconline)

Roles: Executive Director, Editor-in-Chief
Location: APH Networks Calgary

Jonathan Kwan is the Editor-in-Chief, Executive Director, and part of the Forum Experience Team at APH Networks. Otherwise known as "the chc", he is a computer and technology enthusiast "who does not like playing [video] games", a claimed to be not-so-hardcore audiophile, enthusiast photographer who is too poor to afford performance (Read: Expensive) lenses, and an automotive fan. He writes many of the published articles on APH Networks specializing in technology hardware equipment. Besides doing most of the work in the Administration department such as managing human resources and paying all the bills, his main job at APH Networks is to review products. That includes communicating with the readers, the manufacturers, and even working within the team to ensure everything is conducted to the standards of APH Networks. Therefore, he needs to arrange review products for all editors, making sure everything is to the schedule, and ensuring all articles are up to the APH standard. Generally speaking, he does at least a little of everything around here. Jonathan is studying Electrical Engineering at home in the Schulich School of Engineering (University of Calgary), and is currently on internship.

Kenneth Kwok (shc-boomer)

Roles: Technology News Director, Technical Editor, Technical Developer
Location: APH Networks Vancouver

Kenneth Kwok lives in Vancouver, BC. Being with the APH Networks team since the very beginning, and a close friend to "the chc", he is currently the Technology News Director. Kenneth wakes up every morning, and one of the first things he does is to check sources for interesting news articles, and posts them on APH Networks' front page. If he's not updating news on that day, he will need to check if APH Networks is updated to schedule. Kenneth collaborates with the rest of the Technology News Team to ensure all front page articles are published in an efficient and timely fashion. He also develops in-house web applications and programs for the website. Last, but not least, Kenneth is a Technical Editor for the APH Publications Division, and writes a good share of computer hardware reviews here. He is currently pursuing his degree in Computer Science at the Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. During his free time, he is a self-proclaimed gamer, although not really that hardcore (In skills anyways).

Preston Yuen (prestonyuen)

Role: Technical Editor
Location: APH Networks Calgary

Preston joined the APH Networks team in mid-2010 as a Technical Editor, specializing in reviewing various categories of computer hardware and consumer electronics. Practically rivaling "the chc" in the sheer quantity of computers at home, Preston is an avid enthusiast passionately following the latest computer technology, and a fan of recreational console gaming on his PlayStation 3 (Actually, he owns every generation of the Sony PlayStation, haha). Preston lives in Calgary, Alberta, and attends the same church as Jonathan and Jeremy. Because he works at the APH Networks Calgary location, Jonathan is able to work with him in the Publications Division with maximum efficiency. Preston currently holds a diploma in Information Technology: Computer Systems obtained from SAIT Polytechnic, and plans to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Computing and Information Systems at Athabasca University. In his free time, he likes to drive around in his turbocharged Acura RDX, yelling "VTEC and turbo just kicked in, yo!"

Paul Dwalibi (redeemed)

Roles: Article Quality Control and Technical Editor, News Editor
Location: Sydney, Australia

Paul is our first upside-down APH Networks team member. Joining the team in mid-2009, he is specifically committed to two positions here on APH Networks: News Poster specializing in Affiliates News, and a Forum Experience Team Member in our community forums. He later took on the position of being an Article Quality Control Editor in ensuring quality and refinement of each article. And here's the most important thing of being a part of the team here at APH: Paul is probably the nicest and most humble person you'd ever talk to, and is respected by many at all times! But when he edits articles, he is a hardcore Grammar Nazi. His specialized News Editor position involve posting links to new affiliate articles delivered via email, as well as ensuring appropriate links and titles are given to each. In June 2011, he began his reviewing career at APH Networks. Like Jonathan, he does enjoy quite a bit of informal 'stalking' here and there at times haha. That is how he learned all the "VTEC just kicked in yo" jokes from the chc. Ironically and quite unfortunately, he drives a piece of crap 1.2L Ford Festiva (Which he thought it was a Fiesta for at least 2 years), so he can only dream for now ;) Paul is currently doing his Information Technology degree at University of Technology in Sydney, Australia.

Jeremy To (JarolToe)

Role: Technical Editor
Location: APH Networks Calgary

Jeremy joined the APH Networks team in mid-February of 2011; working alongside Preston as a Technical Editor in reviewing computer and hardware related products. As a computer and console enthusiast, Jeremy is our nocturnal slave here at APH, working late nights into the wee hours of the morning to produce reviews and reports. In his spare time, he likes to play on his Playstation 3 with Preston, owning zombies in zombie mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops, until everyone else kicks them off to watch Top Gear episodes on Jonathan's HDTV. Jeremy lives in Calgary and attends the same church as Jonathan and Preston, and also works at APH Networks Calgary, so he is able to work with them with maximum efficiency in different areas of APH Networks -- more specifically, with Preston for the addiction of owning zombies, haha. Jeremy is currently studying at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in the School of Business.

Devin Chollak (Jyro)

Role: Technical Editor
Location: APH Networks Calgary

If you have never seen Devin before, that's because you have not been paying attention: Being the only white guy on the team, he is often used as the background for most of our review photos. (Jokes aside -- we are not actually racist, haha.) Devin joined the team at APH Networks Calgary in mid-May of 2011 as a Technical Editor, working in reviewing computer hardware, peripherals, and other electronics. Being situated in the same city as Jonathan, Preston, and Jeremy, he is part of the infamous team that draws up highly technical, systematic collaborated review testing sessions, but ends up playing Counter-Strike: Source over LAN against each other for "benchmarking purposes". Let's not talk about his private life, because you can probably get an idea of what it is if you have paid attention to all the skirt references he likes to make in his articles. With that in mind, Devin is currently studying Software Engineering at home in the Schulich School of Engineering (University of Calgary).

Anthony Kwan (shift)

Roles: Forum Experience Adviser, Technical Editor
Location: APH Networks Vancouver

Anthony Kwan actually has a girlfriend, unlike Zachary Hopkins (Who apparently "really don't like any people... long story" -- a direct quote!?). Anthony's primary role on APH Networks is the Community Forums Adviser, responsible for strategic operations, management, efficiency, and effectiveness of the community forums. The reason why he has this job is because he offered to bribe "the chc" 12:00 in the morning when "the chc" couldn't sleep, and in return "the chc" sent some benefits back as well haha. Anthony is also a Technical Editor in APH's Publications Division; and currently studying Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia (This is why he actually has a girlfriend, unlike those in engineering lol). Anthony also did a major part in the '08 APH Networks Relaunch too. And just if you're wondering, he's the guy on the left in the photo above. At least we think, anyway.

Zachary Hopkins (HopkinsProgramming)

Roles: Forum Experience Adviser, Technical Developer
Location: Virginia, USA

Zachary Hopkins loves long walks on the beach, is currently single, and lives in an apartment by himself in Virginia. We can clearly see why this is the case when he doesn't even want to publish a profile picture haha. So we "borrowed" something recognizable instead! His favorite line is "I hate papers and projects and retarted system administrators and evil squirrels and OMG >.<" Notice how he spelled "retarded" wrong. He also once claimed that "[his] Business Law book has transformed into a 2-ton brick and it is crushing [him]". Anyways, on the serious side, as part of the Forum Experience Team on the APH Networks Community Forums, he monitors APH quite a bit and takes out forum spam like no tomorrow. And he makes sure all the threads are in the right place, then there's those days of helping forum members. Just to make sure that the forums are in good order and everything is going smoothly. He's an expert in pretty much every programming language you can think of. A networking man himself, he also helps out with backend technical issues with the Administration department as often has he can. Like the rest of the team, he did his part as well in the '08 APH Networks Relaunch.

-----------------------------------------

Additional credits: You might have noticed how APH Networks is missing a ton of news archive and various articles since 2005. This is due to the APH Networks' relaunch on July 30, 2008. Running previously on an outdated platform, the code contains a variety of unaddressed security problems and inefficient/obsolete technology. When our site was relaunched, it was moved to a completely new platform with significantly improved code on the backend; complete with a new design on the frontend. Unfortunately, the old database was not compatible with the new one and an automatic conversion cannot be done. Therefore, all data had to be manually republished onto the site. This required some hardcore copying-and-pasting (And yeah, you'd be surprised how long that took, which is roughly 11 hours to fully complete the upgrade procedure). In this context, former APH Networks staff Herbert Lui (Herbicious), staff member Zachary Hopkins (HopkinsProgramming), as well as two volunteers Anthony Kwan (shift -- who wasn't part of the team at the time) and Michael Choi (r3volution) helped out with the republishing of majority of APH's contents.

A special note: The APH IPB licensing cost was donated by ty8131990, gummyz, Herbicious, and Meltzdown back in the days. Their contributions to APH Networks will not be forgotten!
