And now Belgrade makes three. The Danish and Swiss offices have bridged the company to include a group of talented and experienced Serbs. With the combined knowledge and expertise, Spoiled Milk is poised to launch a three-pronged attack and take the offensive on the mobile and web fronts.

Many of you that know us have spotted our high ambitions from the start. And over time we’ve managed to rack up some achievements to match. Although it’s never been our declared intent, Spoiled Milk has always sought global domination. With Europe covered from the north by our Copenhagen headquarters and in its heart by our Zürich office, we now can secure our southern flanks with the opening of operations in Belgrade.

October 4th marks the official opening of Spoiled Milk’s Belgrade office and the addition of three new members added to our growing arsenal of consultants, designers and developers. This move not only expands our capabilities and increases our ranks but should make us more effective and efficient as well.

The new office is led by branch manager and veteran mobile developer Nemanja Bondzulic. A cautious gentleman, when he’s not busy designing dynamic apps for smartphones, he’s chasing around his newborn daughter and baby-proofing every electrical socket in sight. When asked what he looked forward to most about working at Spoiled Milk, Nemanja responded “Getting on board with good looking apps like the Wallpaper* City Guides and being a part of a great development team.”

Belgrade will tie up some serious technical competences on the web and mobile app development side with support from mobile developer and amateur physicist Rasko Gojkovic and web developer and antique computer enthusiast, Milan Golubovic.

As we are growing up with this new office in Belgrade, it brings forth new challenges in our workflow. Our bilateral thinking, planning and coordinating will now be taken into the third dimension. This means facing challenges like finding three-way video conferencing solutions and coordinating office colour schemes and furnishings.

The Spoiled Milk teams from both Copenhagen and Zurich will be making the trek down to our new brothers in Belgrade in November to bond, brainstorm and maybe enjoy a rakia or two.

 

Nemanja Bondzulic – Serbian Branch Manager

Nemanja got interested in software development very early, in his elementary school days. Soon after, he became a part of computer demo scene and its active contributor, producing many intros and demos as member of a couple of demo groups.

Professional career started with the development of games and underlying systems for slot/casino machines. Afterwards, he has been working on the full scale Xbox console third-person shooter game.

In the early days of PDA devices (before “smartphones”), Nemanja has chosen mobile computing as his primary focus and area of interest. Today, after almost 10 years in mobile space, he has experienced and developed for all the major smart mobile platforms (Palm OS, Symbian, Windows Mobile, iOS, Android, webOS and some others that were never publicly released). Nemanja had an opportunity to work on some of the major projects closely collaborating with the Palm company: PIM software suite for Foleo (the first “netbook”) and Classic – Palm OS emulator for webOS phones Palm Pre and Pixi.

Proficient in cross-platform systems design and building from the lowest-level ground up. Nemanja is running hobby game-dev label (http://indus3.org) producing mobile games.

Nemanja will be running the Spoiled Milk Belgrade office and he will be overseeing the development of web and mobile projects.

 

Rasko Gojkovic – iPhone Developer

Rasko was born in Belgrade, Serbia in 1973. His first contact with a personal computer was in the eighties, a ZX Spectrum (he still has that one in almost perfect condition). It is then he discovered programming and all the fun that comes with it.

Since then he is almost exclusively interested in solving various problems using computers. His current area of interests – multi-threaded programming, image processing and mobile device programming. Of course, physics problems are always welcome.

He has a son (5 years old) who will become full scale programmer in a few years.
