Who is Michael Clark?

I am a technology enthusiast who likes to learn, improve and create high quality products. After graduating in Computer Science from Queens’ College, Cambridge, I moved to Spain to work at Tuenti Technologies. I work on the Interactive Team developing chat, events, photos and registration. Outside of work, I love to row, eat well and keep up-to-date with technology news.

Reading

Outside of software development, I enjoy books ranging from philosophical works to science fiction, with Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card being a firm favourite of mine. Whenever I have a spare few days I try to get through self-improvement non-fiction books like Stephen Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

Music

Playing the guitar has been a passion of mine since 2001. In the future I hope to devote more time to practise and improve my technique, eventually reaching a high enough level to confidently play in public.

It’s a bonus being at Cambridge. Every show is a delight to watch.

Sports

Rowing has been my primary sport after learning at the start of my time at Cambridge. After a year of training I joined Queens’ M1 (the first boat) and together we achieved blades in Lent Bumps 2010, a rarity in Cambridge Rowing.

I also enjoy running, martial arts and weight training. I began attending Kodenkan Danzan-Ryu Jujitsu classes in May 2007 at the Gatwick dojo and have since dabbled in Taekwondo, Judo and Kick-Boxing. I quantify weight lifting scores using my Strength Level Calculator.
