Journey
I work primarily on backend systems, data platforms, and low-resource NLP.
My interest in language technology started with my thesis on unsupervised topic modelling, and later led to MonOCR.
I started programming in 2014 while studying Information Technology at Technological University (Mawlamyine).
Experience
Founding Engineer
NOSBAANMonthly rentals business in Bangkok. I own the platform end to end, from architecture through production operations and the on-call for it. • Designed and built an event-driven ERP on GCP; async Go workers isolate failures and keep heavy work off the request path. • Made ingestion idempotent under at-least-once delivery, so events never double-process. • Gated releases behind k6 load tests in CI; the check-in flow ran clean at 120 concurrent, P95 ~1.06s. • Built an AI-assisted guest-messaging system over RAG, with a grounding guard and human review.
Senior Full Stack Developer
Thibi• Proposed and led a migration to a simpler system design, cutting infrastructure cost by ~33%. • Replaced an Airflow pipeline with a lightweight ETL workflow (Python → static JSON via GitLab Runner); latency dropped from 1–2 hours to under 5 minutes, and cost fell ~50%. • Led development of a public civic data platform serving 2.8K peak daily active users, ~10K annual active, ~132K events, and 100K+ records, with hybrid rendering per page. • Introduced Next.js through a prototype and demo, then SvelteKit for lightweight data-story builds, leaving reusable templates and shared components the team kept using. • Mentored two junior engineers through code review and pair programming.
Full Stack Developer
Thibi• Built GIS platforms, data pipelines, and analytics dashboards using React, PostGIS, MongoDB, and Redis. • Developed backend APIs and data-processing services using Node.js, Python, REST, and GraphQL. • Automated recurring operational workflows across deployments, monitoring, and data exports. • Improved CI/CD pipelines and containerised deployments using Docker and Kubernetes (AWS EKS).
Education

Relevant coursework: Algorithms & Data Structures, Database Systems, Cloud Computing, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence Final Year Thesis: Applied LDA and NMF topic modelling techniques to NLP datasets.
"I had the privilege of working as a project manager for nearly five years on a very small team, where Zin Min served as the sole or lead developer. He was consistently two to three steps ahead of his responsibilities and approached unexpected challenges with enthusiasm and professionalism. I especially appreciate his patience and his ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical team members. I’m confident he would be an invaluable asset to any team."
"He is a passionate and motivated mentor who has guided me in achieving important milestones in my career. He has strong technical knowledge and is always actively learning to stay up to date with the latest developments in the field. He makes logical and well-thought-out technical decisions, supported by critical thinking. I truly appreciate his guidance and support in my professional growth."
"Zin Min is a very patient senior who always gives clear and helpful guidance. He’s strong in both frontend and backend, and I learned a lot from him about writing clean code and better scripts. I’m really happy I got the chance to work with him."
