The youngest software engineer (male) is 16 years 309 days and was achieved by James Bigg (b. Australia, 25 May 2009) in Gold Coast, Australia, as of 30 March 2026.
James developed a passion for computing, artificial intelligence and software development from a young age. Growing up on the Australian coast, he witnessed numerous drowning incidents, which inspired him to pursue a career where he could help protect others. He now contributes to life-saving AI technology at ResQVision and hopes his achievement will encourage other young programmers to believe that age should not limit what they can achieve.
