Clemens Lode is the creator of the LODE template, a professional LaTeX framework that has helped hundreds of authors publish their works across academic and commercial markets.
Clemens Lode developed his passion for writing "choose your own adventure" books at age five. Soon, he turned to mechanical typewriters and, later, computers. He discovered LaTeX typesetting many years later during his computer studies, ultimately leading him to write more complex works on philosophy, science, and project management. His significant contribution to academic publishing includes the development of the LODE template, which has evolved through a decade of refinement and application.
His expertise spans software development, architecture, and project management. Clemens provides consulting services in team communication, IT security, and artificial intelligence, working with both startups and large-scale projects exceeding 1,000 participants across European industries.
Based in Düsseldorf, Clemens maintains an active presence throughout Europe, participating in meetups, fairs, and conferences. His interests extend beyond technology to hiking, singing, and game design.
Favorite quotations
“If you give me the right man in any field I can talk to him. I know what the condition is: That he did whatever he did as far as he can go. That he studied every aspect of it as far as he has stretched himself to the end. He is not a dilettante in any way. […] And, therefore, he is up against mysteries all the way around the end. And awe. Mystery and awe, that’s what we have in common.” —Richard Feynman
“What I cannot create, I do not understand.” —Richard Feynman
“Computers aren’t the thing. They’re the thing that gets us to the thing.” —Halt and Catch Fire
“Two things destroy businesses—mediocrity and making it about yourself.” —Halt and Catch Fire
