During my university time I got in touch with #TeXLaTeX and I am stuck till then. It began as user. I have written my dissertation in LaTeX. Then I started writing packages. I have published some on #CTAN. Amoung them #BibTool.
Professionally I worked as consultant for IT projects, mainly in the context of Web and Java.
In 2011 I joined the CTAN team. I have build and maintained the Web portal. Now I am retired and still work on release 3 of CTAN. But there is much to do...Any help is welcome.

Now, I am back from #DANTE2026 -- the conference of the German #TeXLaTeX user group DANTE. I have given a talk there. The slides (in German) can be found under https://gitlab.com/comprehensive-tex-archive-network/dante-2026/-/blob/main/2026-ctan-dante.pdf?ref_type=heads

To relax -- well and because it is needed -- I am creating teaser images for packages and topics on #CTAN. It is very interesting to see what things can be done with #TeXLaTeX and which things have already been manifested as ready-to-use packages. It is also challenging to condense the possibilities of a package into an ad-like image of a defined size.
Users of #CTAN only see the result when visiting a package page or the overview page https://www.ctan.org/pkg

As always: help is welcome!

For some days we had a bug in the #CTAN portal which prevented updates to be visible in the portal. This problem has been solved and the portal is kept up-to-date again.

I am maintaining the #CTAN site since 2012. For some time I am working on release 3. Especially the frontend is already designed:
