Fatima Rafiqui is a Product Designer II at Microsoft with a decade of experience shaping data and network-focused product experiences, currently helping define the UX for Microsoft Fabric and AI-driven data intelligence. She combines strong HCI academic credentials (MS, 4.0, Indiana University) with hands-on engineering chops from roles as a UX engineer and full-stack contributor to open-source projects like loklak_server. Her work spans end-to-end product design—research, interaction design, visual systems and performance optimizations—evidenced by shipped features at Juniper, 1mg, and patent-backed design innovations for 5G and troubleshooting tools. Based in Mountain View, she brings cross-functional leadership, having aligned teams across multiple workflows to deliver critical enterprise experiences. Notably, she blends measurable engineering outcomes (e.g., reducing page response time dramatically and improving SEO crawl rates) with empathetic design for diverse users, from stadium ticketing to virtual campus visits. Persistent about impact, she pairs academic rigor with production delivery and open-source collaboration to tackle complex data and network UX challenges.
