Let’s talk

Building with
purpose.

Seeing with
curiosity.

I’m Mohammad Nurul Amin. You can call me Reason. I build AI-powered consumer products and capture the world along the way.

I started in 2012 as a freelance graphic and UI/UX designer, then began publishing my own apps in 2015. In 2017, that independent project became Appnap, which we’ve built bootstrapped, without institutional funding. Today, I lead the company’s work on AI-powered consumer products for people around the world.

Design-first thinking still shapes how I build.

  1. Find a useful problem.
  2. Make the experience feel right.
  3. Think globally from the start.

Started in 2017, Appnap has reached 50M+ downloads in 170+ countries, with 100+ people building.

Some things are better felt than explained. A few frames from the world as I see it.
