The Significance of STEM Education
In the
rapidly evolving world of technology and innovation, the importance of STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics) education cannot
be
overstated. These fields foster critical thinking,
creativity, and problem-solving skills essential not only in today's job market, but across many aspects of
life. Encouraging children to explore these disciplines helps cultivate a mindset geared toward
curiosity and lifelong learning. "I started coding
in C++ at a young age and participated in competitions and olympiads throughout my early and high school years.
This experience was crucial in developing my programming skills and exploring the capabilities of the C++
language," he says.

From Student to Software Engineer
Andrei's journey with HARMAN began
approximately two years ago, during his second year of university. "Driven by a desire to start my career
with an international company and work with my preferred programming language, C++, I found an ideal opportunity
at HARMAN."
The company
offered him the chance to actively participate in developing software for the automotive industry, a field he is
passionate about. Despite the initial challenges posed by unfamiliar concepts, Andrei shares he was fortunate to
join a team of diverse individuals who provided support whenever needed.

Sharing His Knowledge
Andrei's first interaction with
training happened about three years ago when he started teaching programming to children aged 10-18 at
a very
basic level. About and a half ago, he
received an opportunity to be a trainer at a programming academy. His primary motivation for teaching and
writing C++ courses in his free time? "To share my passion," he says. His most important lesson
from this journey was that the learning process is reciprocal.

Learning: A Complete Circle
The
knowledge gained as a C++ trainer is reflected in Andrei's day-to-day job at HARMAN through
writing clean and efficient code and problem solving across various projects.
"Although I currently try to learn
more from my colleagues than
to share
information, I believe that
over
time the balance may shift. However, if
I can help a colleague with a piece of knowledge, I do not hesitate to do so." This exchange of information
is highly beneficial for the company, as it aids in the accelerated professional growth of each employee, and
HARMAN excels in teamwork culture and information exchange.
