Daniel Gardner

Associate Director of Engineering

About

I am passionate about building and creating, a drive that has shaped both my career and personal interests. Currently, I serve as the Associate Director of Engineering at OneMain Financial, where I lead the Trim Engineering team. My journey with Trim began as a Full Stack Engineer during its early days as a startup, and I transitioned into a leadership role after its acquisition in April 2021, managing and expanding the team to drive innovative solutions.


Before transitioning into tech, I spent seven years as an event manager in the sports and nonprofit industries. Highlights of my event management career include orchestrating hospitality events for the 2011 Orange Bowl, managing and marketing all home sporting events for the University of San Francisco Athletic Department, and organizing four major fundraising galas that collectively raised over $3.2 million while integrating cutting-edge mobile bidding technology.


In January 2017, I pursued a dream to learn how to code by enrolling in Galvanize's Web Development Immersive program. After graduating in June 2017, I joined Galvanize as a Web Developer Resident, supporting students and honing my skills. Since then, I’ve held roles as a Frontend Developer at Redshift Digital, Frontend Engineer at Revere.ai, and Full Stack Engineer at Trim, where I’ve continuously evolved as a builder, problem-solver, and leader.


Whether it's creating software, managing engineering teams, or orchestrating high-stakes events, I thrive on transforming ideas into reality and empowering teams to reach their full potential.
