Fresh Computer Engineering grad here. If you were in my shoes, what small project or startup would you build for the Malaysian market?

Hi everyone,

I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering, and while I’m navigating the fresh grad job hunt, I really want to channel my energy into building my own startup, or at least a solid side project.

I have a fairly broad technical background. I'm comfortable with full-stack web development. I’ve previously tried financial technology projects, but wanted to focus on something more locally.

  • If you had my skill set and were starting fresh in Malaysia today, what would you build?
  • What are some uniquely Malaysian problems (in fintech, logistics, agriculture, daily life, etc.) that you think are desperately waiting for a tech solution?
  • Should I focus purely on software, or is there an untapped market for hardware/robotics solutions here?

I'm open to any harsh truths, industry insights, or random ideas you might have. Thanks in advance!

Fresh Graduate Looking for Sabah's Opportunity

Hi everyone!

I’m a fresh Computer Engineering grad based in Sabah, actively looking for opportunities within the Borneo tech ecosystem.

I know the local tech scene, especially for software and embedded systems, is still growing and roles might be somewhat limited right now compared to the bigger hubs. However, I really want to build my career here.

I would love to connect with anyone navigating this space, whether you're working in IoT, smart infrastructure, software, or beyond. I'm really interested to hear your thoughts on the current landscape, what you're building, or any advice you might have for someone starting out here. Feel free to reply or shoot me a DM!
