My Professional Experience
STEAM for Vietnam: Not Missing Out on the Talented “Little Engineer”
Gabi Zuniga, over 50 years old, is the Principal Architect of Got It in the “holy” Silicon Valley. Having previously worked for IBM Watson, he decided to join Got It approximately three years ago and frequently commutes between the United States and Vietnam to work with Got It’s team in Vietnam.
In a recent visit, he was pleasantly surprised to find a young boy walking around the Got It Vietnam office. He was curious and had many questions!
The young boy was Tuấn Anh, who is only 13 years old. Last year, he became the youngest software engineering intern at Got It. On his first day, he had just graduated from the 6th grade. In a little over three months, Tuấn Anh completed an impressive university-level course and even worked on a self-driving car project.
“My mom knew I was interested in programming and started looking for anything related to it that I could do online. She stumbled upon Got It. My mom asked her friends how Got It worked and managed to arrange an interview for me, which led to my internship here,” Tuấn Anh shared with Gabi Zuniga. Before joining Got It, Tuấn Anh had some knowledge of web design, including HTML, CSS, and a bit of JavaScript. However, at Got It, he learned much more about programming languages, especially Python, and completed a course using American university-level materials. He also delved into artificial intelligence and applied it to a challenging project, creating a mini self-driving car in a learn-as-you-go style.
In addition to his technical skills, Tuấn Anh focused on improving his English and soft skills to work and communicate effectively with colleagues from diverse cultural backgrounds. He emphasized that his goal was to build a solid foundation for the future rather than winning competitions or impressing his mother.
“This kid is truly amazing!” Gabi Zuniga exclaimed in surprise as he listened to Tuấn Anh’s story of learning and creating a software-based self-driving car with guidance from Got It’s engineers.
