Hyderabad: What one can expect from a boy at the age of 14? Chats with friends, playing games, learning lessons at school, movies et al. Yes, the life of a normal boy passes in that way. But, unlike this, a kid got a job at the world-famous SpaceX company of Elon Musk at the age of 14. The boy's name is Kairan Quazi.

Kairan Quazi from San Francisco will soon graduate from the University of Engineering at Santa Clara University. Quazi recently posted on his LinkedIn that he will soon be joining the Starlink team at SpaceX of Elon Musk. He said that he has overcome a very transparent, challenging technical and fun interview process.

He said that he is joining the Starlink engineering team as a software engineer. He said that SpaceX gave him an opportunity to break the outdated tradition of judging ability and maturity based on age. According to his LinkedIn profile, Quazi has experience in training in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning. He has done internships in some prestigious companies and gained knowledge about cutting-edge technologies.

He joined Los Positas Community College at the age of nine. Passed Associate of Science (Mathematics) with the highest grade. He says working on generative AI with Lama Nachman, Director of the Intelligent Systems Research Lab at Intel Labs, turned his career around.

Local media reported that Kairan Quazi's parents said that he was speaking clearly at the age of two. When he came to the third grade, the teachers recognised Quazi's talent. On the occasion, Quazi thanked everyone, who helped him on this journey. He also wrote on LinkedIn that he is thankful to SpaceX for recognising his talent and believing in his ability.
