• Serbian IMO contestant Aleksa Konstantinov (id 25734): IMO 2015 gold medal, rank 37, 26 points; IMO 2016 bronze medal, rank 169, 20 points, both for Serbia - a rare two-year IMO run for Serbia with a gold followed by a weaker second appearance. Primary source: imo-official.org.2016
• DRW (drw.com) is a diversified proprietary trading firm that 'makes markets' across traditional and cutting-edge markets - a genuine quantitative/proprietary trading employer, so a DRW quant role is a real quant-finance role rather than a name coincidence.2026
• LinkedIn people-index record (index-only) lists DRW Quantitative Trading Analyst Intern (2019), DRW Quantitative Researcher current from 2020 (~6 yrs), and a 2018 Undergraduate Research Assistant role at MIT Sloan (hierarchical linear modeling for sales-marketing research).

• Listed on the MIT Men's Heavyweight Crew 2017-18 roster (Aleksa Konstantinov), which independently corroborates the 2016 MAT enrollment reported by Kurir and fits an MIT class-of-2020 timeline; a varsity-rower commitment alongside a heavy technical course load suggests an unusually broad college profile.2018
