Alex Quach, known as clockwork, is a former Roblox administrator. He was a summer intern at Roblox through 2007 and returned for another internship during the summer of 2008.[1] After ending his summer 2008 internship, he went to work for Blizzard Entertainment as a programmer, he's listed under "Additional Programming" in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.[2] He is currently the lead software engineer at Arc, an electric boat company.[3]
clockwork has been through many periods of inactivity and sudden activity. Shortly after his 2008 summer internship, his account was password guessed, and he was terminated. After his account was unbanned around December 13, 2010, he temporarily returned to Roblox around August 3, 2011. His account was password guessed again, terminated, and eventually unbanned. He later appeared in January 2015, sold some of his limiteds, then went inactive again. He came back again in May 2017, but it is unknown if this was actually clockwork. On an unknown date, he was later terminated for an unknown reason, possibly due to being compromised. His account was later unbanned and was used by Roblox staff as one of the few accounts to upload UGC items on the marketplace for testing purposes.
One of clockwork's most known projects was Roblox HQ, where people could post forums, use his level calculator and many other features. The fansite was shut down in 2011.
C-Framed places[]
Two of clockwork's places, Duck and Satellite, are composed of numerous C-framed bricks. Many users believe that there are at least 200 C-framed bricks in each of his places and that it took him approximately a month to build both places. Some evidence points to believe that these were imported into Roblox through scripts he had created as well.
