Ollie Khakwani

Hi, I'm Ollie. I'm a product designer and engineer who combines deep design experience and product thinking with hands-on engineering and prototyping skills.

I've worked as a product designer for 11 years and a software engineer for 3 years, on a wide range of projects like...

  • AI assistance for medical billing call centre reps
  • Operational task management for oncology clinics
  • Designed, coded, and shipped my own AI-powered dictation and writing app
  • Interactive data visualisations for a project on early Chinese migration to Canada with the Stanford Spatial History Lab
  • Researched reading habits in China and Japan for Amazon to decide how to launch the Kindle in those markets

I'm driven by craft, curiosity, and a bias to action, always seeking to understand problems deeply while moving quickly to create and ship innovative solutions.
