What's he do?

Not really sure exactly what he does even though I'm close to this nephew.  He was an all-American track athlete for MIT and I had the ability to go see him at various places around the country running when nobody else really could do that.  He appreciated having at least one family member see him.  Great kid, and both he and his wife now work for Musk.  When I ask him what he's working on, it usually is over my head. Some kind of programming, with insane math concepts thrown in.  It's something I often joke about.  That little kid, the nerdy one we all watched grow up who seemed so awkward at times, ends up being an actual rocket scientist living his dream.
