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 and only 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 business’s ERP and guest portal. I’ve since added an AI messaging system that drafts guest replies. An operator reviews every draft in a supervised trial.

MonOCR turns printed Mon, my native language, into editable text. Mon is a minority language in Myanmar.
I’ve used MonOCR to digitise about 1,000 pages of printed Mon, including a Mon–Myanmar dictionary. I trained the model and built a Rust CLI for batch processing PDFs and images. The web app is live.
Project details, MonOCRSystem Migration & Optimisation
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. In 2026 I reworked its data delivery for slow connections. A first visit now downloads about 95% less.
