Ashfahan Khan
@ashfahankhan
Founding Senior Full Stack Engineer specializing in modern React systems and AI-powered RAG.
What I'm looking for
I’m a founding Senior Full Stack Engineer with 8 years of experience building modern frontend ecosystems and scalable product features. I specialize in React/Next.js/Svelte/Remix, design systems, and component architecture, while also delivering strong backend capabilities with TypeScript, Node.js, Express, Prisma, and NestJS.
I’m hands-on with AI engineering—shipping LLM-backed features using LangChain, LangGraph, RAG with HyDE retrieval, Hugging Face embeddings, and LangSmith evaluation. I’ve proven impact by building production RAG pipelines, reusable component libraries, and accessibility-first interfaces (ADA/WCAG 2.1 AA), and I’m motivated by system design, maintainable high-performance UI, and clean, type-safe implementations.
