Alen Ghazaryan

I’m a quant researcher specializing in mathematical formulation of algorithmic trading strategies - turning trading ideas into precise models that can be implemented, tested, and monitored. My work typically includes: - Formalizing strategies as signals, objectives and constraints (position sizing, exposure, leverage, drawdown, liquidation/stop rules) - Deriving and specifying risk models and guardrails (tail risk, regime sensitivity, concentration/correlation limits) - Designing evaluation methodology (walk-forward, sensitivity analysis, overfitting controls) and defining decision gates (go/iterate/kill) - Producing implementation-ready specifications for engineering: equations, parameter definitions, edge cases, and acceptance tests.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Alen Ghazaryan holds a Quant Researcher role at Algotitan (algotitan.io), a crypto algorithmic-trading platform that runs automated crypto-futures strategies for users (self-described 'algotrading desk'). The role is listed as current, dated 2026-, on his LinkedIn (index-sourced enrichment) and his name and 'Quant Researcher' title also appear on Algotitan's own team/about page (primary source, https://algotitan.io/about). The employer operates in systematic/algorithmic crypto trading, which classifies as quant-finance work. Identity is supported: the LinkedIn headline also carries IMO 2025 and IZHO 2025 honors matching the Armenia IMO 2025 contestant. Prior roles (Fasttoken Solidity Developer, Mercor Math Testing Expert) are not quant-finance employment.Sep 17, 2026
• Identity match between the Armenia IMO 2025 contestant and the LinkedIn profile linkedin.com/in/alen-ghazaryan-a371a4226 rests on the profile's own honors (IMO 2025 Honorable Mention, IZHO 2025 Silver Medal) plus Armenia/Yerevan location and the Armenian name, all consistent with the official IMO 2025 Armenia team result (334 rank, HM) — circumstantial but mutually corroborating, not a single shared URL.Jul 2025
• His LinkedIn headline positions him specifically on 'Mathematical Modeling for Algorithmic Trading', and his self-summary enumerates signal formalization, risk/guardrail specification and walk-forward evaluation methodology — a quant-research framing rather than coding, matching his transition from Solidity engineering to strategy modeling.2026
• Undergraduate at the UM-SJTU Joint Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University studying Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2025-2029 (LinkedIn); this places him in Shanghai/China during his 2026 Algotitan quant-research tenure, and Algotitan's LinkedIn company listing shows a Beijing-based Head of Engineering, a China-Armenia split consistent with a hybrid student-and-quant profile.Sep 2025
• At IMO 2025 (Sunshine Coast, Australia) he scored 17/42 with an Honorable Mention, ranking 334 of 630 contestants for Armenia; the official IMO results pages confirm the nation-level result.Jul 2025
• Spent four years as a Solidity Developer at Fasttoken (Oct 2021-Sep 2025) starting while still a school-age Olympiad competitor; Fasttoken is a blockchain/gaming crypto company (FTN token ecosystem), so this is software/crypto engineering rather than quantitative trading.Oct 2021
• Served as Math Testing Expert at Mercor (2025-2026), an AI data-labeling/annotation marketplace; this is math-model evaluation/contract work, not a quantitative-finance role, and reinforces that the only algorithmic-trading position on record is Algotitan.2025
