Keen Research was founded in 2004 to deliver custom software solutions to Silicon Valley enterprises. We offer a flexible service model that allows our clients to quickly execute on cutting-edge ideas by relying on the experience of a trusted partner with on-demand access to a highly talented development team.
Headquartered in San Francisco, Keen Research maintains its development office in Novi Sad, Serbia. Our overseas office is located in close proximity to the University of Novi Sad campus, and the company maintains strong ties with faculty and researchers from the University's computer science and engineering departments.
The company's founder, Ognjen Todic, brings over a decade of software development, R&D, and technical management experience to the company, combining a deep understanding of Silicon Valley's high technology and business culture with close personal ties to his home base in Novi Sad. At Keen Research, Mr. Todic provides technical leadership and manages all business aspects of the company, including project planning and client relations. During each project, Mr. Todic remains engaged in all phases of development, from the high-level planning stage to the nuts and bolts of its execution, testing, and ongoing support. He equally enjoys brainstorming ideas with prospective clients and working alongside his team to write code and fix problems.
Prior to founding Keen Research, Mr. Todic led the research and development team at Ordinate Corporation (acquired by Harcourt Assessment in 2004), where he managed the company's R&D projects and technical operations and played a pioneering role in the development of Ordinate's automated spoken language assessment systems. In addition, Mr. Todic held development positions at the Onstar Advanced Technology Group, at Entropic Research Laboratory, Inc., and at the University of Novi Sad. Mr. Todic holds an MSEE degree from Stanford University, and a BSEE degree from the University of Novi Sad.
