Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDenis Čahuk is a leadership coach and technical trainer with 14 years of hands-on engineering and team‑building experience, helping product engineering teams deploy multiple times per day without heroics and grow resilient, test-first practitioners. He blends deep backend engineering pedigree—from scaling subscription systems and real‑time game-tournament platforms to contributing core simulation logic in a well-known Simulationcraft project—with practical coaching in TDD, CI/CD, pairing and DevOps practices. Denis has a track record of rescuing high-risk projects, introducing pairing and ensemble programming to reduce lead time and feature abandonment, and embedding DORA-style metrics to sustain improvements. Based in Ljubljana, he works 1:1 and with teams to improve throughput, reduce maintenance costs, and raise engineer well‑being, often attaching himself to teams to amplify impact. An uncommon strength: he pairs technical architecture changes with human-centered conflict resolution and negotiation coaching so technical improvements stick.
