Hello! I’m Aftab Khan

I simplify complex products and collaborate to ship them.

As a Product Design & UX Engineering lead, I shape systems and interfaces that carry product intent from Figma into production.

Selected work

Hard problems. Clear decisions.

Anonymized enterprise work across operations, workforce platforms, clinical workflows, and bilingual finance.

Point of view

Intent should survive the trip from Figma to production.

Tokens, components, and accessibility are architecture — not a polish pass. I use AI to move faster. Judgment still ships the work.

AI speeds up research synthesis, pattern exploration, component scaffolding, documentation and prototyping. Problem framing, design direction, system decisions, accessibility and sign-off stay human.

Figma AI · Figma Make
First drafts of layouts and dashboard structures, then clickable flows that surface missing states early.
ChatGPT
Clusters interview notes and tickets into pain points; drafts edge cases, error and empty states.
Claude
Reviews components against WCAG 2.1 AA and keeps tokens and RTL/LTR rules consistent.
Cursor
Turns approved concepts into working prototypes and refactors alongside Engineering.

For your team, that means more directions explored before committing, prototypes in front of users sooner, and documentation that keeps pace with the build.
