Overleaf starts off its new era of leadership with a celebration of 11 million users and 100 million projects.

Hello everybody! Please meet Rafael S. de Souza (Rafa), Brazilian astrophysicist, amateur sci-fi writer, data scientist and an enthusiastic Overleaf user! Rafa gave us this lovely interview and told us about his research and how Overleaf is a key tool for his work — we hope you enjoy it!

December 2021, the month of Overleaf’s nine-year anniversary, was when we reached the nine million user milestone. So imagine our excitement when we reached the 10 million user milestone only five months later! We truly feel like lucky ducks!
