Summary
Shilpa Murthy is a founding engineer and Head of Engineering with 11 years of experience building scalable product-focused systems, now leading technical strategy at Casap to tackle fintech pains.

She favors extensibility over premature generalization, shipping fast iterations and learning through execution and smart failures. Comfortable across backend systems, data-heavy projects and product engineering, she also brings an unexpected creative edge from her parallel experience as a Bollywood dance instructor, which she credits for teamwork and rapid choreography of cross-functional efforts. Based in the New York City area, she’s an operator-founder who turns complex requirements into pragmatic, extensible solutions.
