Vel Gayevskiy, creator of LaTeXTemplates.com, meets Overleaf founders John and John in London.

On the 31st July we had the pleasure of going for lunch with Vel Gayevskiy, creator of LaTeXTemplates.com, who was visiting the UK for a couple of weeks following a Bioinformatics workshop.

We've known Vel for a number of years and have exchanged many emails but never met in person before this summer! We took this opportunity to ask Vel a few questions about his research, why he decided to create a site for LaTeX templates, and what his plans are for the future.

As those of you who've contacted us with support requests in the past few months will have discovered, we now have a team of TeXperts on hand to answer your LaTeX and Overleaf questions. Our two leading TeXperts are Lian Tze Lim and Nicholas Reith, and they've both been doing fantastic work in responding to support requests and producing tutorials and example materials for the community.

So, without further ado, please say a big hello to our two TeXperts!
