Dan Stondin

I'm a design leader with two decades of experience, a passion for building great teams, great products and always fighting for the user.

I've called San Francisco home for almost two decades until recently returning to the the rolling hills of Manchester, England. I've been helping Jeli.io design solutions and experiences that assist with incident response, management and analysis . Previously, I was the Head of Product Design for the AppOptics product at Solarwinds following the acquisition of Librato in 2015. Husband to Lindsey and dad to Henry.

"Dan has a unique ability to see the whole picture for a product. He’s not only a great designer, he also has a keen eye for user experience, business requirements, and market fit. He has experience with and awareness of the more technical side of things, which, as an engineer, made it very enjoyable to work closely with him. In short, Dan is the kind of person that will very quickly become an irreplaceable member of your team."

"I loved working with Dan on AppOptics—he’s passionate and understands his products and users at a fine-grained level. He was the bridge between complex technical use-cases and great design execution."
Dan Kuebrich
Director of Engineering at FullStory
"I had the pleasure of working with Dan on many projects at SolarWinds; as my manager he helped support the growth and development of the design org within a strong engineering domain. We worked through many tough technical problems, that required system thinking resulting in platform solutions. From creating design systems, optimising first time UX to creating new visualisations for millions of disturbed traces; Dan is a fearless leader that I would be delighted to work with him again and be part of his team."
