Creodocs

Launched in 2021; Shut Down in 2025

Creodocs was my foray into creating a SaaS product to harness the power of LaTeX, but abstract the complexity and parametrize documents to enable bulk document creation on the web, a la mail merge. The idea for Creodocs came about as a natural extension of LaTeX Templates (see below) and LaTeX Typesetting. Over the years, I became very familiar with the document quality and flexibility that LaTeX affords, but I regularly had clients wishing to utilize this power for automating the production of business documents. LaTeX is highly amenable to automation, given its plain-text based format. I added a service category to LaTeX Typesetting to help clients interested in document automation using LaTeX, but wanted to create a further abstracted platform for end users to fill out web forms, call APIs or upload databases to produce high quality documents en masse.

Seave Variant Filtration Platform

Launched in 2015; Published in 2018

During my employment at the Garvan Institute, I took it upon myself to develop a variant filtration platform for use in clinical genomics. This platform came to be called Seave and was in use by researchers, clinicians, within clinical trials and for commercial diagnostics. It was initially available only to internal staff and collaborators between 2015 and 2018, then it was open sourced and published in 2018.

LaTeX Typesetting

Launched in September 2013

I created, own and operate LaTeXTypesetting.com, which is the service counterpart to LaTeXTemplates.com (now defunct; see below).

Many users do not have the advanced skills in LaTeX required to successfully modify a template to suit their unique requirements. Some users have an existing document in another format that they need converted to LaTeX, but lack the skills or time to do it themselves. The purpose of LaTeX Typesetting is to provide a fast, knowledgeable and friendly service for anyone wishing to utilize the power of LaTeX.

LaTeX Templates

Launched in April 2012; Shut Down and Domain Sold: August 2026

I created, owned and operated LaTeXTemplates.com, which provided easy to use templates for use in the document preparation system LaTeX.

I became interested in LaTeX during the start of my graduate degree, but was frustrated that there was no central resource for templates that I could use to learn LaTeX in a hands-on way and get quick results. This prompted me to create a LaTeX Templates page on the original vel.bio website, which was around for several years and gained a steady flow of visitors. Eventually I decided that this area deserved better treatment, so I created the website as a comprehensive resource for all.
