Kairan Quazi, 14, will graduate from Santa Clara University this month and will start as a software engineer at SpaceX.

Kairan Quazi will probably need someone to drive him to work at SpaceX. He’s only 14.

The soft-spoken teen said working with Starlink — the satellite internet team at SpaceX — will allow him to be part of something bigger than himself. That is no small feat for someone who has accomplished so much at such a young age.When he was 2, Kairan spoke in complete sentences. When he was in kindergarten, he recounted to his teachers and classmates news stories he’d heard on National Public Radio.

“I felt like I was learning at the level that I was meant to learn,” said Kairan, who later transferred to Santa Clara University. “I think one of the things I really want to do with telling my story is hopefully have leaders in influential positions challenge their biases and misconceptions,” he said. “Hopefully, I can open the door to more people like me.”that when he was 9, IQ tests showed that his intelligence was in the 99.9th percentile of the general population. Asked if he’s a genius, he recalled his parents telling him, “Genius is an action ― it requires solving big problems that have a human impact.
