• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Alexandru Rudi is employed as a Software Engineer at Jane Street Capital (full-time), corroborated by two Emory primary-source pages: his Emory NLP profile states he 'moved to Jane Street Capital as a software engineer' after his Spring 2023 BS, and the Emory CS news archive states he 'has taken a position as a software engineer at Jane Street in New York.' Jane Street Capital is a proprietary quantitative trading firm and market maker, satisfying the quantitative-finance employer requirement. Supporting evidence includes a LinkedIn-index-only record (not independent primary-source confirmation) listing a Jane Street Software Engineer Intern role Jun-Aug 2022 and the full-time Software Engineer role from Aug 2023. Identity is supported by the Emory/olympiad cross-match (Moldova IMO/IOI participant; Liceul Teoretic Orizont; Emory CS & Math). The 2022 internship rests on index-only evidence; the full-time role is corroborated by two Emory primary sources.May 2, 2023
