Research papers, computers, conference submissions, lessons for Moodle. I’m Đorđe Pucar, a developer in Belgrade, and since 2021 I’ve been building the tools that MEF, a faculty here, uses to keep all of that in order.
If your team keeps track of something with spreadsheets, email and someone’s memory, I’d like to hear about it.

Three of these are running at MEF right now. The other two are tools for turning presentations into Moodle lessons. Below them is earlier work I no longer maintain.
Research records
nir.mef.edu.rsEvery paper the faculty’s researchers publish, entered once and filed properly.
Researchers sign in with their faculty account and add their papers, step by step or straight from a DOI. From there, the records fill the faculty’s public repository and are shared with the Ministry’s systems.
How NIR works1,974
papers in the public repository, the oldest from 1997
Counted in October 2026
Equipment inventory
Every computer at the faculty: what’s inside it, which room it’s in, and whether it works.
Every item gets a record and a QR label. There are also lists of installed programs and of loans, so it’s clear what runs where and who has borrowed what.

Conference paper submissions
Papers for the faculty’s yearly conference, from the first upload to the proceedings.
Authors register, upload their paper and can see where it stands. The organizers see every submission and its status in one place.
E-learning tools
Moodle can store a PowerPoint file, but it can’t play it as a lesson or tell whether someone actually went through the slides. For that it needs a SCORM package: a zip with the slides, a small player and a file that describes what’s inside. I built two tools that make one.
E-learning tool
Publishes the open presentation as a SCORM package, straight from PowerPoint. The lesson in the picture is one of mine, from the Web Programming course.
E-learning tool, online
The same idea as a web page: upload a .pptx or .pdf, download a package for Moodle. Nothing to install.
Projects I built in the first place but no longer work on.
Journal website
The website of the Journal of Process Management and New Technologies, which MEF publishes.
Everything about the journal in one place: aims and scope, instructions for authors, the editorial team, and an archive where every issue has its own page with the papers, their DOIs and PDFs. I built it in WordPress so the journal’s staff could publish new issues and edit pages themselves, without a developer.
Mostly the same kinds of problems as the projects above. If yours looks similar, there’s a good chance I can help.
Clients, research, documents, contracts: whatever your team now keeps across several spreadsheets and folders. One place to enter it, find it and report on it.
What you own, where it is, whether it works and who has it, with QR labels so anyone can look an item up with a phone.
Submissions, requests, approvals: anything that passes between people. Everyone can see where things stand, and nothing sits forgotten in an inbox.
When one thing happens, the next step happens on its own: data goes to another system, a reminder goes out, a report is ready on Monday morning.
Lessons in a format Moodle and other learning platforms can play and track.
Clear, fast websites for a business, a project or an event.
Like this one
You talk directly to the person who will write the code.
We go through your current process, your data, and the parts that slow you down.
Before any code: the screens, the information it keeps, and what’s out of scope. You know what you’re getting.
The core first, then extras like automation and reports. You can try each piece as soon as it’s done.
Everyday use shows what needs changing. I adjust it to how your team actually works with it.
I’m Đorđe Pucar. I studied information technology at MEF in Belgrade (bachelor’s in 2020, master’s in 2021) and went on to PhD studies in electrical engineering and computer science at FIMEK.
At MEF I started as a student demonstrator and became a teaching assistant. I teach Web Programming there, and in earlier years I also taught E-Business and Quantitative Methods.
My bachelor’s thesis was about building a researcher’s record card, a karton, in CodeIgniter. Later I built NIR, which the faculty calls MEF – Karton. Most of what I’ve made since follows the same idea: information that was scattered gets one proper place.
I work in Serbian and English, and I also speak French.
Tell me how it’s done today and what’s annoying about it. I’ll reply within a day or two and tell you honestly whether I can help.
