Space has hired a 14-year-old boy to join its Starlink division as a software engineer. Kairan Quazi will be the youngest ever graduate from Santa Clara University next week before starting his new job at Space next month!
Kairan started studying computer science and engineering at the age of 11 & he lives in an apartment with his mother, whom Quazi said was his biggest supporter.
According to the Mercury News, Kairan officially qualifies as “profoundly gifted,” with an IQ over the 99.9th percentile.
After a pediatrician told his parents that he needed a more advanced academic experience, he started at a Livermore community college at the age of 10, before transferring to Santa Clara University. While at SCU, he even acted as a tutor for older students.
Kairan’s job search culminated in 95 rejections and three offers for full-time jobs, SpaceX among them.
