🧠 Who I Am
Hi, I'm Dominic Mathew David — a cybersecurity student at Swinburne Sarawak by day, tech innovator by night, and problem-solver at heart. As Co-founder & CTO of Stratetics Experts Sdn. Bhd., I've discovered that the most rewarding part of technology isn't just building cool things — it's using those tools to solve real problems that actually matter.
My mission is simple yet ambitious: leverage cutting-edge technology to create sustainable solutions that make a tangible difference in people's lives and our environment. Whether it's helping farmers optimize their crops, ensuring our infrastructure stays safe, or preserving our cultural heritage for future generations, I believe technology should serve humanity, not the other way around.
🚀 How I Started
Let me be honest — I started as that classic introverted builder, more comfortable with code than conversations. While my classmates were focused purely on grades and graduation plans, I was tinkering with AI models at 2 AM, wondering: "What if technology could actually solve the problems I see around me?"
That spark hit me during my second year at university. I realized that academia was teaching me the how of technology, but I wanted to explore the *why* and the what if. The challenge? Juggling a demanding cybersecurity curriculum while building actual products, leading a team, and trying to validate ideas in the real world.
The breakthrough came through competition wins and innovation showcases. Each pitch, each demo, each conversation with potential users taught me something new. These weren't just academic exercises — they were proof that the solutions I was building could genuinely help people. That validation gave me the confidence to push forward, even when the path felt overwhelming.
🛠️ My Products — Built for Real-World Problems
NODE COMP
Critical infrastructure shouldn't fail — lives depend on it. NODE COMP combines AI, drone technology, and finite element analysis (FEA) to predict when pipelines, industrial plants, and other vital structures need maintenance *before* problems occur. Instead of reactive repairs after disasters, we're enabling proactive care that saves money, prevents accidents, and keeps communities safe.
INSPEC-THER
Solar energy is crucial for our sustainable future, but poorly maintained panels waste potential and pose safety risks. INSPEC-THER uses AI-powered drone systems to revolutionize solar panel inspection, identifying performance issues, hot spots, and maintenance needs with precision that humans can't match. We're making clean energy more reliable and efficient.
KuCharge
Electric vehicles are the future of transportation, but charging infrastructure needs to be smart, accessible, and user-friendly. KuCharge isn't just hardware or just software — it's a comprehensive EV charging ecosystem designed to support Malaysia's growing e-mobility adoption. From smart charging stations to seamless payment integration, we're building the backbone of sustainable transportation.
OneDermark
Small businesses and startups deserve the same digital marketing power as big corporations. OneDermark democratizes digital marketing by providing comprehensive solutions that help local businesses build their online presence, connect with customers, and grow sustainably in the digital economy. Every entrepreneur should have access to tools that help their vision reach the right audience.
Farm Optix
Feeding our growing population while protecting our environment requires smarter agriculture. Farm Optix combines AI and IoT sensors to give farmers real-time insights into crop health, soil conditions, and yield optimization. We're empowering farmers with data-driven decisions that increase productivity while reducing waste and environmental impact.
🌱 Introducing: Rajang Reach
While building tech solutions for industries, I realized we were missing something closer to home. Our rich cultural and artistic heritage in the Rajang region deserves to be preserved, celebrated, and shared with the world, not just stored in dusty archives or forgotten in old photo albums.
Rajang Reach was born from this realization. Our vision is ambitious yet deeply personal: digitally preserve and showcase the cultural and artistic heritage of the Rajang region for current and future generations.
We're planning to use cutting-edge technology — digital archives, AI-powered art tagging and analysis, virtual galleries, and immersive experiences — to make our heritage accessible to anyone, anywhere. This isn't just about preservation; it's about youth empowerment, local pride, and ensuring our stories continue to inspire future generations.
Imagine a young artist in Kuching discovering traditional Rajang art forms through our virtual galleries, or a researcher in London accessing our digitized cultural archives. That's the future we're building.
💡 Why I Do This
Every late-night coding session, every failed prototype, every difficult conversation with potential investors — it all comes back to one thing: the moment when an idea transforms from lines of code into real-world impact.
I do this because I've seen a farmer increase their yield using our AI recommendations. I've watched infrastructure engineers prevent potential disasters using our predictive maintenance insights. I've witnessed small business owners reach new customers through our digital marketing platform.
But beyond the success stories, I'm driven by the challenges themselves. Bootstrapping as a student founder means learning resourcefulness. Building solutions solo teaches you every aspect of product development. Being young in an industry of experienced professionals forces you to earn respect through results, not titles.
My mantra? "Technology is only as valuable as the problems it solves and the people it empowers."
🌏 What's Next
The future I'm building is expansive yet focused. I'm expanding our existing solutions across Southeast Asia, growing Rajang Reach into a comprehensive cultural preservation platform, and exploring collaborations with like-minded innovators who share our vision of technology for good.
But this journey isn't meant to be walked alone. I'm actively seeking:
- Partners who believe in sustainable technology solutions
- Collaborators passionate about cultural preservation and regional development
- Mentors who can guide us through the next phases of growth
- Communities ready to embrace innovative solutions to age-old problems
