Summary
Karan Murthy is a machine learning engineer and backend/AI infrastructure specialist with nearly a decade of experience building scalable systems at Amazon and now focusing on ML platform work at Whatnot. He designs and ships agentic workflows—copilots that reason and automate—to accelerate engineers and end users, with a pragmatic bent toward reliability, extensibility, and rapid prototyping. His background spans security-focused abuse-fighting systems at GoDaddy to large-scale data and IoT work earlier in his career, giving him strong cross-stack fluency from APIs to model-serving infra. Based in Seattle, he’s recently been exploring healthcare and devtools, and he aims to amplify other builders not only by collaborating but eventually as an angel investor. An unassuming detail: he pairs deep production experience with a hands-on preference for unblocking teams and shipping prototypes fast.
