Daniel Frost
Senior Software Engineer in E-Commerce
10+ years building full-stack applications, currently focused on backend engineering in the e-commerce checkout funnel at The Kroger Co.
Thoughtful engineer. Systems thinker.
I'm a software engineer who has been writing code since freshman year of high school. I started with a passion for front end design but have since discovered my love of writing beautiful APIs and designing architecture.
At The Kroger Co., I've spent the past several years designing and building APIs that sit at the center of high-stakes flows. My current focus is working on the checkout funnel, all the way from building a basket to submitting an order.
Outside of work I am an avid outdoor enthusiast dreaming of one day retiring in the mountains. On the weekends you can find me at a local coffee spot, at the gym, or spending some social time with friends.
