Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Stockman is a Principal/Staff front-end engineer with 18 years of experience building high-performance web applications, monorepo tooling, and CI/CD automation for large-scale consumer products. He has driven developer velocity and code quality at organizations like Zillow—where he built 12+ NPM tools, maintained company-wide ESLint and Babel presets, and shipped features powering millions of users—and contributed to the popular Lerna monorepo project to make publishing safer and faster. Equally comfortable in product-facing UI work and backend automation, he specializes in React/Next.js, TypeScript, testing, and build-tool design that measurably reduce build times and operational costs. A pragmatic mentor and process improver, he pairs deep technical craft with an eye for maintainability and developer experience. Unusually for a senior engineer, his background in drama suggests strong communication and storytelling skills that he leverages when aligning cross-disciplinary teams.
