Alisheri Anvar

Tajikistani-born software/AI engineer based in Seoul, South Korea. Represented Tajikistan at the 2016 International Mathematical Olympiad (Honourable Mention) and studied Computer Science at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), 2016-2020. Prior roles: AI Engineer at BLUEDOT, inc. (2021-2022), Software Engineer at micromobility firm Beam Mobility (2022-2025), and a 2025 software engineering stint at Fairy. His LinkedIn/index record lists him as a Quantitative Developer at Presto (prestolabs.io), a quantitative/algorithmic trading firm founded 2014, from July 2025; that role rests on an index/LinkedIn record only and is not independently confirmed.

Notes6

• Quant employment verification: NOT CONFIRMED. The only evidence for a quantitative-finance role is an index/LinkedIn record listing Alisheri Anvar as 'Quantitative Developer' at Presto (prestolabs.io) from 2025-07 to present; this is index-only and not independently confirmed by any primary source. Identity is supported (IMO 2016 Tajikistan contestant; UNIST Computer Science 2016-2020; LinkedIn /in/alisherianvar). Employer classification is confirmed: prestolabs.io is a quantitative/algorithmic trading firm founded 2014 (HFT, market making, liquidity provision, OTC crypto), so if the role is accurate it is genuine quant employment. No independent confirmation of the employment itself was found; uncertainty retained.
• Presto (prestolabs.io) is verifiably a quantitative-finance employer: its own site and a partner page describe it as 'a quantitative trading firm established in 2014' building automated trading systems, with crypto HFT, market-making and liquidity provision; a Lever job posting for 'Quantitative Developer' matches his listed title.
• Represented Tajikistan at the 2016 International Mathematical Olympiad (Hong Kong), earning an Honourable Mention with rank 312 and 14 points (P1=7, P4=7); IMO official participant record, an independent primary source.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), 2016-2020, per the LinkedIn index record; the same UNIST affiliation appears on a separate Alisheri Anvar Facebook profile, a cross-source signal that the Olympiad, education and professional identities are the same person.
• Two 2019-2020 studentships/internships precede his industry roles: AI Engineering Internship at KAIST (Daejeon, 2019) and Software Development Internship at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (2019-2020); these are internships, distinct from actual employment and from quant work.
• Software Engineer at Beam Mobility (ridebeam.com), a micromobility (e-scooter/e-bike) company, 2022-2025, working on microservices and web/mobile features; a non-quant engineering role. A Beam colleague directory independently places 'Alisheri Anvar' in Seoul.
• AI Engineer at BLUEDOT, inc. (blue-dot.io), Seoul, 2021-2022, working on super-resolution to enhance image and video perceptual quality; a computer-vision role, not quantitative finance.
• A short 2025 software engineering stint at Fairy (fairytech.ai), Seoul, immediately before the Presto role; the compressed tenure suggests a fast move into the Presto position.
• His LinkedIn URL (/in/alisherianvar) is cited in a Kaggle 2019 Data Science Bowl competition discussion, the only public web trace found outside LinkedIn tying that handle to his name.
