Gerjan Dorgelo developed and maintained the Blueprints-org/blueprints repository, delivering a robust framework for Eurocode-compliant structural engineering calculations and cross-section modeling. He engineered modular formula implementations, geometry classes, and reporting tools, integrating Python and LaTeX to support automated documentation and multi-format export. His approach emphasized code clarity, validation, and maintainability, with extensive unit testing and continuous integration to ensure reliability. Dorgelo expanded the codebase with corrosion-aware steel profiles, translation utilities, and LaTeX-to-Word conversion workflows, addressing both technical accuracy and user experience. The depth of his work enabled safer design automation, streamlined reporting, and improved localization for engineering teams.

In January 2026, Blueprints (Blueprints-org/blueprints) delivered a robust LaTeX-to-Word workflow alongside significant LaTeX translation improvements, expanding multi-format export capabilities and strengthening test coverage. Key initiatives include integrating a dedicated ReportToWordConverter, enhancing LaTeX translation with language support and command replacements, and expanding tests around translation, itemize/enumerate handling, and figure caption validation. Refactorings focused on table cell processing, header translations, and preservation of LaTeX commands improved reliability of word/PDF/LaTeX exports. Several bug fixes improved correctness of string conversion, formatting of equations, and error messaging for missing dependencies, while infrastructure improvements streamlined tests, cross-platform path handling, and coverage pragmas. This work collectively increases automation, reduces manual rework, and accelerates delivery of polished documents to business stakeholders.
