• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Identity: Adeeb AlShehry (IOI 2022/2023/2024 for Saudi Arabia, bronze 2024; Codeforces MrDeboo; MIT) — the LinkedIn index profile linkedin.com/in/alshehry, whose public headline reads 'OpenAI | MIT | IOI Medalist', matches this person and lists a 'Quantitative Researcher' role at 'Saudi Azm عزم السعودية' and 'Saudi Azm Algo Trading', Riyadh, Jul 2024 - Jan 2025. Employer classification: azm.sa is a Tadawul-listed Saudi IT/digital-solutions and communications company (not a hedge fund, bank or asset manager) that ran an in-house quantitative-research / algorithmic-trading function; teammates (Humaid Alhuthali, Nezar Bakhsh) publicly describe the same Saudi Azm role doing systematic alpha strategies and algorithmic trading on Tadawul (the Saudi Exchange). Adeeb's own specific duties rest on the LinkedIn index (index-only); the role's existence and its quant-trading nature are corroborated by a supported identity and teammates' accounts. Student/olympiad activity is kept separate. Current role 'Member of Technical Staff' at OpenAI is index/LinkedIn-sourced and is not quantitative finance.
• LinkedIn index lead (index-only, not yet independently confirmed): current role 'Member of Technical Staff' at OpenAI (2026); past 'Quantitative Researcher' at Saudi Azm / Saudi Azm Algo Trading (2024-2025, Riyadh); 'Neuromorphic Vision Research' at KAUST (2023-2024).2026
• Adeeb's listed 'Quantitative Researcher' role at Saudi Azm is corroborated in kind by teammates on the same function, several of them IOI-linked MIT students: Humaid Alhuthali (IOI '23, MIT) lists 'Quantitative Researcher, Saudi Azm' doing 'algorithmic trading in Tadawul (Saudi Exchange)', and Nezar Bakhsh lists the same role researching 'two systematic alpha strategies on Tadawul-listed' stocks — evidence the employer ran systematic/algorithmic trading research on the Saudi Exchange.
• Employer classification: azm.sa ('Saudi Azm عزم السعودية' / 'Saudi Azm for Communication and Information Technology') is a Tadawul-listed Saudi digital-solutions, communications and IT company (its site advertises enterprise IT, digital platforms and banking APIs such as 'BankProHub Alrajhi'), not a hedge fund, bank or asset manager — so a 'Quantitative Researcher' title there sits inside an IT company's in-house quant/algorithmic-trading function.
• Public LinkedIn headline reads 'OpenAI | MIT | IOI Medalist', corroborating both the OpenAI role and the IOI identity on one profile, and the same profile lists 'Neuromorphic Vision Research' at KAUST (Thuwal), 2023-2024.
• IOI 2024 (Egypt): competed for Saudi Arabia and won a bronze medal, rank 159; also competed IOI 2022 (rank 257) and IOI 2023 (rank 226) per CPHOF timeline.Sep 2024
