Hi, I’m Aftab Khan. I design calm systems for complex software.

I’m a Principal Product Designer & UX Engineer with 18+ years across product design, enterprise UX, design systems, accessibility, and frontend development.

I work where product decisions and implementation meet—simplifying dense workflows, creating reusable systems, and helping teams move from complex requirements to clearer, buildable experiences.

18+ Years · Enterprise Product Design

Real enterprise problems. Clearer systems.

A selection of anonymized enterprise work across logistics, healthcare, financial services, and workforce platforms. The case studies focus on the problem, my responsibility, the decisions I made, and the outcome—without exposing client identity or original product screens.

Logistics · Enterprise OperationsCase 01

Enterprise Logistics Operations Platform

Complex operational workflows had to remain usable while supporting dense information, reusable UI patterns, accessibility, and frontend delivery across a large enterprise environment.

Role: UX engineering, workflow simplification, accessibility, reusable components, Storybook collaboration, and frontend implementation support.

Healthcare · Responsive Web ApplicationCase 02

Healthcare Calculation & Data-Entry Workflow

A dense healthcare calculation and data-entry process needed to become easier to complete, easier to understand, and usable across responsive layouts.

Role: Product UX, responsive interaction design, React implementation collaboration, accessibility, and design QA.

Fintech · Saudi Arabia · Arabic RTL / English LTRCase 03

Bilingual Asset-Financing Journey

A seven-step financing journey had to remain clear and consistent across Arabic RTL and English LTR experiences.

Role: Journey design, responsive UX, bilingual interaction patterns, stakeholder collaboration, and frontend-aware delivery.

HR Technology · Multi-role Enterprise WorkflowsCase 04

Enterprise HR & Workforce Platform

A broad HR platform needed consistent workflows across employee profiles, leave, timesheets, approvals, service requests, notifications, and administrative operations.

Role: UX architecture, reusable interaction patterns, React UI collaboration, workflow consistency, and design-system thinking.

Complexity that sits between people, systems, and delivery.

My strongest work is usually not a single screen. It is a system of decisions: dense workflows, multiple states, reusable patterns, responsive behaviour, accessibility requirements, and implementation constraints that all have to work together.

Capability 01

Complex Enterprise Workflows

I turn dense business rules and multi-step processes into clearer task flows, information structures, and interaction patterns.

Capability 02

Design Systems & UX Engineering

I connect design intent with reusable components, design tokens, Storybook workflows, frontend constraints, and design QA.

Capability 03

Accessible, Responsive Products

I design accessibility and responsive behaviour into the product from the beginning rather than treating them as final-stage fixes.

Capability 04

Design–Engineering Collaboration

I work directly with Product and Engineering to make decisions that are useful for users and practical to build.

I also build the tools I wish existed.

My independent products let me explore problems end to end—from identifying the friction and framing the product to designing the workflow, building the interface, and learning from the result.

Flagship Product / Public Preview

JobFit

Job descriptions are dense, inconsistent, and difficult to compare against the evidence already present in a CV. Candidates spend hours guessing whether their experience matches recruiter criteria.

What It Does

The product compares CV evidence with job requirements, surfaces fit signals, identifies gaps, and supports tailored application preparation.

AI UX Audit Lite

UX reviews can become inconsistent, subjective, and difficult to structure across multiple findings. Standard AI audits produce generic unverified checklists that lack human accountability.

What It Does

The product helps structure interface findings, separate AI-generated observations from human decisions, track reviewed and unreviewed items, and capture reviewer overrides or rationale.

Design Token Studio

Design tokens often become disconnected between design decisions and production implementation. Designers struggle to see code implications, and engineers lack visibility into design intent.

What It Does

The product provides a structured environment for working with token values and human overrides while keeping the system understandable for design and engineering.

Independent ProductView in Product Lab

18+ years across visual design, web, frontend engineering, enterprise UX, and product systems.

My career moved from visual design into web and frontend implementation, then into product UX, design systems, accessibility, and the space where design and engineering increasingly operate as one practice.

Have a complex product problem to simplify?

I’m open to Principal / Lead product-design, UX-engineering, design-system, and consulting conversations across India, GCC, and global remote teams.
