SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Kairan Quazi, a Pleasanton-born prodigy, is making his next big career move at age 16.
Santa Clara University’s youngest-ever graduate is leaving his job as a software engineer for Elon Musk’s SpaceX to work for another billionaire, Ken Griffin, according to Fortune magazine. This week, Quazi started his new job as a quantitative developer at Griffin’s company, Citadel Securities, in New York City, Fortune reported.
Quazi appeared on KRON4 News when he was just 10 years old to talk about his life, which included attending a 4th grade elementary school class during the day and taking night classes at Las Positas Community College in the East Bay. He could already code in 12 languages. (Watch his interview on KRON4 at age 10 below)…
