About Farook Khan
I’m a senior software engineer and technical leader who specializes in designing and delivering complex, business-critical systems in production.Over the last 9+ years, I’ve worked at the intersection of engineering, product, and executive stakeholders, translating ambiguous business goals into scalable architectures across healthcare, fintech, and platform environments.At Hims & Hers, I’ve led the design and delivery of regulated, revenue-critical systems powering new healthcare offerings (Labs, Testosterone, Menopause). This work spans multi-step user workflows, backend services, and third party integrations, with a strong emphasis on safety, reliability, and iteration under real-world constraints.Previously, I built foundational platform systems at Intuit and TribalScale, contributing to enterprise applications used by millions and helping internal teams adopt scalable, self-serve architectures.More recently, I’ve been focused on AI-powered systems, particularly LLM-based agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agent lifecycle design.I’m motivated by hard problems, high ownership, and work that directly shapes how users interact with complex, intelligent systems.
