Elon Musk’s SpaceX has hired a young genius who is only 14 years old.
Because third grade was “not challenging enough” for Kairan Quazi, he started attending community college when he was only nine years old.Kairan Quazi, who will soon become the youngest software engineer at Starlink and the youngest person to graduate from Santa Clara University’s School of Engineering, demonstrates that age is truly just a number when it comes to his accomplishments.According to the South China Morning Post, Kairan Quazi, a 14-year-old resident of Santa Clara, California, has been appointed as SpaceX’s newest software engineer, making him the space agency’s youngest employee. Quazi will take over Quazi’s previous responsibilities as SpaceX’s software engineer.
In a post that he made on LinkedIn on Thursday, he stated, “I will be joining the most awesome company in the universe as a software engineer on the Starlink engineering team.” One of the few businesses that did not use my age as an arbitrary and antiquated proxy for mature and capable behaviour.The Los Angeles Times cited Quazi’s parents as saying that the toddler had began using complete phrases as early as the age of two. Later on, when he was in kindergarten, he shared with the other children and the teachers the news articles that he’d picked up on the radio.When his third-grade coursework did not appear to be tough enough for him, his parents put him in an accelerated programme at a community college in California when he was only nine years old.

According to what he shared with the LA Times, “I felt like I was learning at the level that I was meant to learn.”According to his parents, who spoke with BrainGain Magazine, he received an IQ score that placed him in the 99.9th percentile of the general population during the same year that he enrolled in community college.A few months later, Quazi was hired by Intel Labs as an artificial intelligence research co-op fellow as part of an internship. By the time he was 11 years old, he had already gone to Santa Clara University to study computer science and engineering.According to the information on his LinkedIn page, he spent the first four months of the previous year working as an intern in the machine learning department of the cyber intelligence company Blackbird.AI.
social media
According to his profile, he was involved in the development of a “anomaly detection statistical learning pipeline” that can determine whether or not the content found on social media has been modified.”I think there’s a conventional mindset that I’m missing out on childhood, but I don’t think that’s true,” Quazi said in an interview with ABC7 News. If I had maintained that mentality throughout middle school, I believe I would have graduated by now.
Santa Clara University
He highlighted the accomplishment of one of his goals by writing in his LinkedIn biography, “It is my dream to have a career tackling challenging issues and effecting radical innovation in service of the common good,” indicating that he has been successful in achieving one of his goals.According to the Seattle Times, Quazi made the announcement of his employment with SpaceX before he received his degree in engineering from Santa Clara University, which made him the youngest graduate in the school’s history.Additionally, in order to begin working for SpaceX in Redmond, Washington, he plans to move away from Pleasanton, California, with his mother and move there together.
