Building Digital Futures in Sarawak
We started Novadexlex Hub because we saw something missing. Here in Kuching, talented people were hungry for real skills in metaverse development and AI systems, but the training available felt disconnected from what actually works.
So we built something different. Not another online course factory, but a hands-on learning space where people work on actual projects and learn from mistakes.
How We Got Here
Back in early 2024, three of us were freelancing on various tech projects across Malaysia. Lim Jia Wei was doing 3D environment design for overseas clients. Siti Nurhaliza worked on machine learning models for e-commerce platforms. Rajesh Kumar handled backend systems for virtual event spaces.
We kept running into the same problem. Clients wanted people who understood both the technical side and the creative possibilities. But when we looked for team members locally, we found a gap. Plenty of general IT graduates, but few who'd actually built something immersive or trained a model on real data.
That gap became our starting point. We rented space in Riverview Commercial Centre and started teaching small groups what we'd learned the hard way.
What We Stand For
These aren't poster quotes. They're how we actually run things here.
Real Projects First
You won't spend months on theory before touching code. From week one, you're building something people could actually use. Sometimes it breaks. That's when the real learning happens.
Honest Feedback
We'll tell you when your spatial audio setup doesn't work or when your training data is biased. Constructive, but direct. You'll know exactly where you stand and what to improve.
Local Context Matters
Global tech skills, but applied to Southeast Asian markets. Internet speeds, device capabilities, cultural preferences—these affect what you build and how you build it.
Our Learning Method
Most programs teach you tools. We teach you how to solve problems with whatever tools make sense for the situation.
Start with the Problem
Every module begins with a real challenge someone faced. Maybe a retail client needed virtual try-on. Or a training company wanted safety simulations. You learn by figuring out how to solve it.
Build, Test, Break, Repeat
You'll prototype quickly, get feedback from actual users, discover what doesn't work, and iterate. This mirrors how development happens professionally—messy and iterative.
Connect the Technical Dots
Understanding why a neural network architecture fits a specific use case matters more than memorizing hyperparameters. We focus on the reasoning that helps you adapt to new situations.
Portfolio Over Certificates
By the end, you'll have working projects you can show employers or clients. Code repositories, deployed demos, documentation. That's what opens doors.
Who Teaches Here
Our instructors aren't full-time academics. Vikram Sundaram still consults on AR retail implementations. Chong Li Ying works with NGOs deploying AI tools in rural areas. Amira Hassan builds multiplayer game systems for indie studios.
They teach because they want to share what actually works. And yeah, sometimes they bring in problems they're currently stuck on. You might help solve them. That's happened more than once.
We're small enough that you'll know everyone by name. Our maximum cohort size is twenty-two people because we've found that's where group dynamics still allow for individual attention.
Where Our Focus Lives
We don't try to cover everything in tech. Instead, we go deep in areas where immersive experiences and intelligent systems intersect.
This includes spatial computing, where you learn to build environments people can interact with naturally. And applied machine learning, focused on practical implementations rather than research papers.
Come See What We're About
Our next intake starts in March 2026. But you don't have to wait to visit. Drop by our Kuching space, talk to current participants, see what they're working on. Ask the questions that matter to you.
