Daniel Maksimovic
MSc Computer Science Student | Software Engineer
Zofingen, Switzerland
Impact-driven Software Engineer & Information Systems professional with 6+ years of experience across working-student roles, internships, teaching, and research. I help organizations design secure, reliable, AI-enabled products that turn complex processes and data into real customer value.
About Me
A brief introduction to my journey, skills, and aspirations.
I get excited about opportunities where I can ship AI products end-to-end—from requirements and process modeling to secure back-end services, RAG/LLM integration, and measurable impact in domains like technology, finance, banking, and consulting.
For example, I built a local, full-stack AI-driven chatbot at Eraneos (React/Vite, Java/Spring Boot, Azure) with a knowledge base and RAG pipeline, and engineered a License Server for Consor Universal (Spring Boot, Docker, Jenkins, Kubernetes) to automate license generation.
I'm also a Teaching Assistant at the University of Zurich for Business Informatics II, leading tutorials for ~80 students. My research includes benchmarking AI-based CFM platforms and reviewing studies on hybrid human-AI teams.
