About Me

Get to know who I am and what drives my passion for technology

Computer Science Student with a Passion for Innovation

I'm Danny Gardner, a senior at Great Valley High School with an unwavering passion for computer science and technology. I've dedicated myself to excellence both academically and in extracurricular pursuits.

Beyond the classroom, I'm the Co-President of our Computer Science Club, where I lead a team that hosts annual hackathons with 20+ teams from 10+ schools. I'm also the Director & Founder of Kids in Motion, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit where I teach life skills to 120+ kids aged 6-14 through sports.

My experience extends to competitive programming on platforms like LeetCode (270+ problems solved, top 25% in contests) and creating educational content on my YouTube channel @dannygardnercode, where I share advanced CS concepts and hackathon strategies.
