Summary
Dan Luria is a hands-on engineering leader with over a decade of experience building and managing cross-functional software teams, now directing agentic AI engineering at Travelers from Boston. He specializes in creating psychologically safe environments where engineers have autonomy and agency, and he has a track record of leading teams through acquisitions and product transitions. His technical leadership spans startups and enterprise settings, including Elixir/Elm-based cyber insurance systems at Corvus (acquired by Travelers) and earlier full-stack work across e-commerce and financial services. Dan moves fluidly between strategy and implementation, preferring to stay close to the code and product while scaling teams and processes. He is self-taught in software engineering and brings a pragmatic, people-first approach that helps teams deliver complex systems reliably. An understated strength is his focus on cultivating engineer ownership, which has repeatedly accelerated delivery in both fast-growing startups and larger corporate environments.
