Damir Pirija

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience spanning backend systems, full-stack applications, AI/ML integration, and technical leadership. Over the years, I’ve built scalable systems, led cross-functional teams, and delivered impactful products across industries — from eCommerce to AI-powered tools. Currently at Povio, I work across backend and full-stack roles, building complex platforms using NestJS, AWS, React, Python/Django, and cutting-edge tools like AI/ML, Electron, and browser extensions. My work spans projects in healthtech, productivity tools, and AI automation. Previously, I held a dual role as CTO and Product Owner at CustomerVox, where I led the technical vision and implemented a cloud-native microservice architecture using Go, gRPC communication, Kubernetes, and a wide range of AWS services. I also worked with Ministry of Programming in a similar backend-focused role, collaborating on ambitious startup projects. I thrive at the intersection of code and product, with a strong foundation in both backend architecture and frontend technologies. My recent passion lies in leveraging AI/ML to build smart, adaptive software. I’m always seeking challenges where I can combine technical depth with product impact.
