+title: Clemens Wolff (clewolff) joins our team
+author: Tomaz Muraus

+---
+
+Please help us extend a warm welcome to our newest team member [Clemens
+Wolff][1]!
+
+The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Libcloud has invited Clemens
+Wolff to join us as a committer and we are pleased to announce that he
+has accepted.
+
+Clemens has participated in the Libcloud community for a while now and during
+his participation he made a [number of high quality contributions to the
+project][2].
+
+For anyone who would like to know more about Clemens here is his short bio:
+
+> Clemens Wolff is a tech lead in Microsoft’s Commercial Software
+Engineering team, enabling customers from around the world to create scalable,
+resilient and efficient software solutions applying relevant technologies and
+platforms, including cloud computing, highly scalable data engines, machine
+learning and analytics, and distributed messaging systems.
+
+And in his own words:
+
+> I was introduced to Libcloud while working with a research group at Imperial
+College London on porting OKpy, an open source computer science classroom
+management system, from GCP to Azure. OKpy uses Libcloud which made
+migrating the object storage needs of the application a breeze. Since this
+initial exposure, I’ve been using Libcloud on many projects to ensure
+cross-cloud compatibility and to simplify testing via the local provider
+implementations. Most of my contributions have been about maintaining and
+updating the Azure implementation of Libcloud’s storage driver and
+building test automation to ensure that Libcloud can seamlessly be used
+with Azure.
+
+We are happy to have him in our team and we are looking forward to his future
+participation and contributions.
