Zin Min
Senior Software Engineer
I build and run production systems, from event-driven backends and data pipelines to the web interfaces on top.
I’m the founding engineer at NOSBAAN, a monthly-rentals business. Outside work, I’m building MonOCR, an open-source OCR project for the Mon language.
Selected Work
Event-driven ERP & AI Messaging
I designed and built the ERP platform and guest portal the business runs on. I also built an AI-assisted messaging system. It’s in supervised rollout now.
In a staging load test, the guest check-in flow had zero failures at 120 concurrent users, with a per-request P95 of ~1.06s.

MonOCR turns printed Mon text into editable text. Mon is my native language and a minority language in Myanmar. UNESCO’s 2010 atlas listed it as vulnerable.
I trained the model and built a Rust CLI for batch processing PDFs and images. The web app is live; the Android and iOS apps can be built from source.

I proposed a simpler design for the Myanmar Biodiversity Portal and led the move to it. It removed a dedicated server and merged two data tools into one. Infrastructure cost fell by ~33%.
On the Regional Data Platform, I replaced a two-step Airflow pipeline with a lightweight script-based workflow. Latency dropped from 1–2 hours to under 5 minutes, and cost fell ~50%.

I built a public civic data platform that thousands of people use, and I still maintain it. I redesigned its data delivery for low-bandwidth connections, with no added monthly cost. A first visit downloads about 95% less.
