Summary
Daniel Gardner is a Senior Software Engineer in Provo with nine years of experience building scalable, service-oriented web platforms that span databases, backend services, and responsive front-ends. He has led large modernizations—migrating legacy Ruby and PHP monoliths to Node.js/React architectures—and architected systems integrating PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, GraphQL, Kubernetes, and GCP. Comfortable moving between data-heavy ETL work and UI performance optimizations, he’s built social listening, publishing, and support tools that handle high-volume APIs and real-time interactions. His linguistics background and early love of SQL give him a pattern-oriented approach to data modeling and query optimization that surfaces in both OLTP and analytics work. Colleagues describe him as methodical and curious, combining a researcher’s attention to structure with a developer’s focus on pragmatic, production-ready solutions.
