• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The public record supports a supported identity (LinkedIn anton-shafalyuk plus Index/ClickHouse enrichment) and one dated quantitative role: Quantitative Developer at Lacima Group, Sydney, 2016-2018 [index-only]. Identity is corroborated by a matching Sydney location, Macquarie PhD and Exponential Trading role across LinkedIn, TheOrg, Datanyze and Life Trading. But the Lacima tenure rests only on the aggregate company index (no primary Lacima/regulatory/team page confirms his individual role or dates), and the current title (Senior Software Development Engineer at Exponential Trading) is a software-engineering title the LinkedIn index itself carries rather than a titled quant role. Verdict UNRESOLVED: no conflicting evidence, but the individual Lacima quant role is index-only and not confirmed by an independent primary source.Sep 17, 2026
• Employer classification - Exponential Trading (exponentialtrading.com.au) is a genuine quantitative trading firm: a Sydney proprietary trading firm founded 2013 by Ebon Bokody whose own site describes high-frequency trading, market making, arbitrage and quantitative strategies across equities, options, futures, ETFs and FX in Asia-Pacific. His role there is software engineering (Senior Software Development Engineer), not a trading/quant-research title.Sep 17, 2026
• Employer classification - Lacima Group is not a trading house but a specialist software vendor for energy and commodity trading, valuation, optimisation and risk management (multi-commodity pricing/risk analytics, acquired by EEX Group). A 'Quantitative Developer' role there is quantitative-finance-adjacent software development for commodity/energy risk analytics rather than desk trading.Sep 17, 2026
• Career timeline (index-only, from LinkedIn/ClickHouse): Software Developer, AmberCore Software 2005-2008 (GIS map-view tools); Software Developer, WiseTech Global / CargoWise 2012-2016 (customs clearance and eHub logistics software); Quantitative Developer, Lacima Group 2016-2018; Senior Software Development Engineer, Exponential Trading 2018-present. The 2018 start month (June) comes from the caller lead, not from a primary source.Sep 17, 2026
• Represented Ukraine at the 42nd IMO (2001) and won a silver medal with 21 points (P1=7, P4=7, P5=5); Ukraine's team placed 8th that year. Recorded on the official IMO site.Jul 2001
• Education: PhD in Applied Mathematics, Macquarie University, Sydney (2008-2012), on the Method of Analytical Regularization in potential theory and diffraction (published in ANZIAM Journal 2012); and a Master's in Mathematics/Computer Science at V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, Ukraine (2005-2006).Jan 2012
• A separate Macquarie mathematics researcher 'O. Shafalyuk' (Olena/Olga Shafalyuk) also publishes on electrodynamic/screen diffraction, so his PhD subject overlaps a same-surname/near-name author; do not conflate the two.Jan 2012
• Index/aggregator-only sources (LinkedIn index, TheOrg, Datanyze, ZoomInfo, SignalHire, RocketReach) all merely repeat the same single title 'Senior Software Development Engineer at Exponential Trading'; they are not independent primary-source confirmation of employment and should not be read as such.Sep 17, 2026
• Public GitHub handle Ch0senOne (profile lists the name 'Anton Shafalyuk') exists but carries essentially one repository and no corroborating company link - a weak identity signal, not used as confirmation.Sep 17, 2026
