Luka Dimnik

I lead engineering teams, and the part I care most about is whether the people on them are doing the best work of their careers — and enjoying it. My philosophy is simple: happy engineers are productive engineers. Every team I've led has been measured in shipped features and migrations, but the wins I'm proudest of are the people ones. The last team I led topped the Culture Amp engagement survey across a ~50-engineer organization, and my current team has run nine months through a founding period and a mid-year domain pivot with zero attrition. Engineers there have told me, unprompted, that they're doing the best work of their careers. I think a lot about what makes that possible: clarity of direction, psychological safety, real investment in growth conversations, and shielding the team from noise without shielding them from context. When those are in place, delivery takes care of itself.

I'm a hands-on EM. I still write code, I run agentic development workflows with Claude Code daily, and I've authored internal Claude skills my team uses for codebase onboarding. I stay close enough to the work to make good technical calls and clear obstacles fast, without getting in the team's way. Happy to connect with other engineering leaders, especially on team health, agentic workflows, and legacy modernizations.
