When I finished my degree I was elected as Vice-President of the Students&#8217; Union where I served two terms. After, I stayed on at the SU to head up the Student Activities department, delivering a range of extra and co-curricular activities for students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love sport and being active, I&#8217;ll watch anything that is happening (live or on TV) and am the first one to put my hand up to try something new. I&#8217;m a regular in the gym and play American Football for the Wembley Stallions.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michal Olejarski<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improving our product performance and efficiency is one of our key focuses. We hired our new developer Michal to support the continued improvements to our product.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My journey into the world of computers started with my Amiga when I was 8 years old through, surprise surprise, video games. But interests into coding grew when I was 14, when I created my first HTML based website. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;ve been a volunteer technical assistant \/ administrator and graphic designer for a number of projects around amateur writing communities in the past few years. After University I came to the UK and got a job developing e-commerce platforms, until I came across Clearbooks, with whom I hope to stay and help to build the best service possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my free time I go to the gym and currently I am training to complete my first 5K run. But I also enjoy creative areas like writing, graphic design and painting.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll join us in welcoming our new starters.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we continue to grow our product and service, we are delighted to welcome 2 new starters into the Clear Books team.
