Hej, I’m Igor.

I build the kind of web application most frontend developers never touch: interactive canvas, annotation and map interfaces over very large datasets.

Focused on creating intuitive and performant web experiences. Bridging the gap between design and development.

What I work on now

I work on a national-scale map application for public transport analysis, where we moved from ArcGIS to OpenLayers, so GIS and mapping technology are familiar ground.

Before that, through Capgemini, I developed STID Annotation for Equinor: the application engineers use to annotate technical documentation across Equinor installations. STID is the third most-used system in the company after SAP and Microsoft Office, and the system of record for tags and documents, integrated with SAP and ProCoSys. Some of what I learned building canvas tools is in The Journey to Better Architecture.

Where the business side comes from

I founded Easymindstudio in Serbia in 2005, at 25, as a video production and web agency, and ran it for eight years before moving to Norway. Running an agency taught me what developers rarely learn: how to estimate realistically, how to scope honestly, and when to say no.

Today Easymindstudio is my independent practice, run from Norway, with a narrower and deeper focus.

How I work

I work across the stack: TypeScript, React and Svelte on the front, Django/Python and increasingly Java/Spring Boot behind it. I write about architecture and state management here, for example in OOP as State Management and The Svelte Shift.

Side projects

I always have a side project running. It’s how I’ve picked up Python and Java in practice rather than in theory.

  • A CRM in Django and SvelteKit: clients, tasks, calendar and analytics for small teams.
  • An open-source Spring Boot library that generates admin interfaces from JPA entity metadata.

What interests me

Complex visual and spatial software in industrial, energy and public-sector contexts.
