Work tends to be end-to-end: architecture through deployment and operations. Currently Founding Engineer at NOSBAAN, an Airbnb Superhost-recognised monthly rentals business in Bangkok, building the full technology platform as the sole engineer.

Selected Work
MonOCR — OCR for the Mon Language
Built an OCR system for Mon, a language classified as vulnerable by UNESCO, where no prior dataset or toolchain existed. Two models: a mobile version (11.4M params) and a server-side model (~54M params).
Exports to ONNX and CoreML. Includes a feedback loop to collect validated samples and improve accuracy over time.
Data Platforms
Public civic data platform at ~10K active users. A separate research platform saw data refresh drop from 1–2 hours to under 2 minutes after replacing an Airflow setup with a lightweight custom ETL pipeline.
System Migration & Cost Reduction
Migrated a legacy system to a simpler Next.js + Baserow architecture, cutting infrastructure cost by 33%. Rebuilt the data pipelines and added backup and recovery — neither existed before.
Event-driven ERP & AI Messaging Platform
Built an event-driven ERP platform, public portal, and AI-assisted messaging system with RAG pipelines at NOSBAAN. Heavy workloads route through async queues for fault isolation. Infrastructure sustains 50+ req/s (P95 <1.5s) under load.
