nahiyan khan principal design engineer @ block
about the 5 to 9. and the 9 to 5.
I am currently a Principal Design Engineer at Block. I design by building, and I build
what I envision. I stay deep in the details while driving AI capabilities and design
direction at an organizational level.
I lead a group of design engineers and product designers working on applied AI. We are the
acceleration team defining how design gets encoded and builders build.
Outside of work, I rock climb, chase knowledge rabbit holes, write occasionally, and read
a lot of science fiction.
