About us

Developers by trade. Problem-solvers by nature.

BeanOX was founded in 2013 — but our story starts much earlier. Our two founders have each been building software for more than 25 years, and both are still hands-on developers today.

Who we are

Small team. Deep experience.

Long before BeanOX existed, our founders were designing, building and debugging software — from low-level system tools to large business applications. In 2013 they founded BeanOX in Messel, Germany, to do the work they enjoy most: solving real problems with well-built software.

Today we develop custom software for businesses, advise on architecture and technology, and design, sell and support our own products such as the time-tracking app TimeOrg and the Windows tool Easy PDF.

We have never stopped learning. Today that includes Go and Rust services on AWS, SAP integrations and agentic coding — modern tools, applied with the judgement that only comes from experience.

The founders

The people you’ll work with.

BeanOX is run by its developers. Two founders, two very different specialities — and more than 50 years of combined experience. When you work with us, you talk directly to the people who design and build your software.

Founder · Managing director

Michael Donath

aka hamrok

Michael reads code the way other people read a newspaper. Hand him an undocumented legacy system, a binary without source code or a bug nobody can reproduce — he will find out how it really works, and why it doesn’t.

His passion for game development and 3D graphics makes him feel at home wherever performance matters most, and he moves just as easily between back-end services and polished front ends.

Off the clock

When the laptop is closed, Michael is out on his motorbike — or building games just for the fun of it.

Founder · Managing director

Igor Mladenovic

aka mligor

Igor sees the whole picture. He designs architectures and solutions that fit the problem — and the budget — and then rolls up his sleeves to build them, from back end to front end.

He is at home on Linux, packages everything in Docker, automates whatever can be automated and connects the physical world to software through IoT.

Off the clock

Off the keyboard, Igor designs electronics, 3D-prints whatever he can’t buy and fills the house with IoT gadgets. And when there are photos or videos to polish, he is the one at the editing desk.
