01Side project
It started with Android.
Long before it was a job, I was building Android apps on the side, first in Java and later in Kotlin. I published my first app while still in school, and got hooked on seeing something I made run in my hand.
About
Clean, mobile-first interfaces, with small moments of motion.
I’m Nur Ilyas, a frontend engineer in Singapore. I like the details most people only notice when they’re missing: the press of a button, the way one page hands off to the next.
How I got here
02Curiosity
Then the web pulled me in.
Exploring web apps opened up a much bigger canvas. It took me to Shopee’s React Native platform and then TikTok Shop, where the mobile experience was everything.
03Now
Details that make it feel right.
Today I build frontends at BlackRock. Wherever I am, I’m drawn to the same things: mobile-friendly layouts, clean design, and small interactive moments — a press, a transition, a bit of motion — that make an interface feel considered.
