JomHack Free Python Bootcamp · Dec 2025
The Python Bootcamp
The smallest chapter with the biggest consequences. One TikTok live in November 2025 put Python in my hands, and one month later it opened the door to Gamuda AI Academy.
A TikTok live that changed the trajectory
Near the end of November 2025 I was one month into Orion Automation, running on savings and small failed experiments, and I knew one thing for certain: if I wanted back into tech, I had to start from the start again.
That is when a live by Mr Inbaraj ↗ kept appearing on my For You page, promoting a free Python bootcamp by JomHack. I wanted in immediately, but the open slots were for January and I did not want to wait a month I could not afford to waste. I hesitated, then ignored it. A few lives later, the title said December Python Bootcamp. I asked if there were free slots, applied on the spot, and got in.
What the bootcamp gave me
- Python fundamentals: syntax, patterns, and the humility of being bad at something on purpose.
- AI agent integration: the first bridge between my creator instincts and engineering.
- The ship daily habit: every night something had to run, however small. My first useful script renamed and sorted a folder of video exports by itself.
The bridge to Gamuda AI Academy
Halfway through the bootcamp I was still joining Mr Inbaraj's lives, and that is where I spotted another free program: Gamuda AI Academy, an AI bootcamp fully sponsored by Yayasan Gamuda. The January intake looked full and the earliest open slot was May. I hesitated again.
A few days later, by fate or by the grace of God, a January slot freed up, and his live showed up on my feed at exactly the right time. I applied immediately, sat the coding assessment, and passed it holding nothing but a Cert in Information Technology. Not even a diploma. I was so happy I told my whole family that Gamuda was sponsoring my studies.
Why this tiny chapter matters
Every role I hold now traces back through this month: Gamuda AI Academy made me an engineer, and P10X Media made it a career. Free education, found on a For You page, taken seriously. That is the whole story.
FAQ
Quick answers
What is the JomHack Free Python Bootcamp?
A free Python bootcamp for Malaysians, promoted through Mr Inbaraj's TikTok live sessions. I joined the December 2025 cohort and covered Python fundamentals and AI agent integration.
How did Varakorn find the bootcamp?
Near the end of November 2025, Mr Inbaraj's TikTok lives kept appearing on my For You page. December slots were full at first; when a live announced a December Python Bootcamp, I asked about free slots, applied immediately, and got in.
How did the bootcamp lead to Gamuda AI Academy?
Halfway through, still watching the same lives, I spotted Gamuda AI Academy, fully sponsored by Yayasan Gamuda. The January intake looked full, but a slot freed days later; I applied immediately, sat the coding assessment, and passed with only a Cert in Information Technology.
Was the bootcamp really free?
Yes. The JomHack bootcamp was free, and Gamuda AI Academy after it was fully sponsored by Yayasan Gamuda. My pivot into AI engineering cost time and effort, not tuition.
What did Varakorn build during the bootcamp?
Small automation scripts, shipped nightly. My first genuinely useful script renamed and sorted a folder of video exports I had been managing by hand since my creator days.
