Shruti Panwar — VP of Engineering

I'm a builder at heart—with a decade of experience turning complex challenges into scalable, high-performing frontend solutions. But beyond code, what drives me is people, purpose, and progress. Over the past 10+ years at CaaStle Inc., I’ve led engineering teams through every phase of growth—from startup hustle to strategic scaling. As an Engineering Manager and most recently an Associate Director of Engineering, I’ve built and led high-impact teams of 5 to 26 engineers, restructured orgs for better agility, and coached individuals to grow into confident tech leads and problem solvers. My sweet spot? Combining engineering intuition with business context. I thrive when collaborating with product, design, and leadership to align roadmaps, define meaningful KPIs, and ensure execution drives outcomes—not just output. Some wins I’m proud of: Led organizational restructuring to reduce project turnaround time by over 30% Drove the frontend architecture for AI-driven personalization (search, customer support), enhancing conversion and discoverability Mentored engineers across levels, many of whom have grown into tech leads or managers Designed a runtime theme editing platform that reduced content refresh TAT from days to minutes Built hiring frameworks, interview rubrics, and scaled diverse, collaborative teams I care deeply about clarity in communication, empathy in leadership, and excellence in execution. Whether it’s simplifying tech complexity or solving organizational bottlenecks, I’m the one who will dive in, align stakeholders, and get things moving—with calm, confidence, and a bit of humor. Let’s connect if you're passionate about building scalable systems, enabling people to do their best work, and creating products that actually move the needle.
