About

Hello,

My name is Zoran Maksimovic. I am a Software Developer/Solution Architect with 13 years of professional experience.

Would you like to know more about me?

Then please visit my LinkedIn profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/zoran or directly download my Curriculum Vitae.

I am really passionate programmer and I am enjoying finding right solutions for a particular problem and here I have a possibility sharing it with you.

I am currently working for one of the world largest bank based in Zürich (Switzerland), in the Investment Banking FX Derivatives area where I work as a Technical Team Lead that comprehends a team in Poland as well.

As a Team Lead I’m responsible for the planning and leading the solution architecture, implementation and delivery of a suite of trading applications in the FX Options and FX Structured Deposits area by using Microsoft.NET, SQL Server 2005/2008, Oracle and Java technology. I am responsible for all the (technical) phases of the project which involves coding mostly by using the Microsoft technologies, which is my biggest interest for the time being.

Languages

I enjoy working with and using the following languages:
C#, T-SQL, XML, XHTML, XSLT, JavaScript, CSS, VBA and VBScript and when I have time I try to experiment with F# but unfortunately not as much as I would love to.

Methodologies

I am particularily interested in Domain Driven Design, Entity Relationship Modelling, N-tier architecture, MVC and AGILE (SCRUM) for which I am a certified Scrum Master.

Private projects

I am working on a couple of projects on my own. Contact me if you are interested in participating.

For many years I had an Idea of starting my blog where I could share my own ideas and solutions, hoping that this would be of a little help for anyone, so I hope you will enjoy my posts and that some of the solutions proposed will be useful to you, otherwise I encourage you to contact me or write a comment so that together we could improve and be even more helpful in the future.

Cheers,
Zoran
