• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Two actual roles with a supported identity. (1) Susquehanna International Group (SIG) - LinkedIn lists Daniel Murphy (daniel-murphy05) as Software Engineer Intern, Dublin, 2026-. SIG is a quant-finance employer: its own site states 'Susquehanna is a global quantitative trading firm'; Wikipedia describes it as a specialist/designated primary market maker in ~600 equity options and 45 index options on CBOE/AMEX/PHLX/ISE. So this role is at an options market-making/quantitative trading firm. (2) Huawei Technologies R&D (UK) Noah's Ark Lab - Research Intern (NLP), London, 2025. Huawei is a technology company, NOT a quant-finance employer; its Noah's Ark Lab is an AI/NLP research lab, so this is a software/ML research internship, not quantitative finance. Identity support: IOI stats page (stats.ioinformatics.org/people/7508) confirms Daniel Murphy representing Luxembourg at IOI 2023, matching the firmographic and olympiad threads on the LinkedIn profile. Classification detail: the caller lead also listed 'Software Engineer Intern, Susquehanna' twice; the second duplicate entry is treated as the same role. Note the Jane Street connection is only an insight/student programme, not employment, and is NOT counted. Link: https://linkedin.com/in/daniel-murphy05
• IOI 2023: competed for Luxembourg as a contestant (score 18.0, no medal, absolute rank well down the field). This is the olympiad identity anchor that ties the LinkedIn profile to the caller's target.Sep 2023
• Jobs & internships timeline (all from LinkedIn profile; not independently confirmed): Susquehanna International Group, Software Engineer Intern, Dublin, 2026- (current); Huawei Technologies R&D (UK) Noah's Ark Lab, Research Intern, London, 2025, co-authored ICLR 2026 paper 'A Benchmark for Information Synthesis'; participant in insight programs at Jane Street (First Year Trading and Technology Programme) and other firms, 2023-; Luxembourg informatics olympiad coaching/organising 2023-.
• WEOI: Scientific Committee member for the Western European Olympiad in Informatics and Chair of the Scientific Committee for WEOI 2026 (to be held in Luxembourg, 26-28 June 2026); listed as 'Head' on the WEOI 2026 scientific committee and as a co-author of the WEOI 2026 call for tasks on Codeforces. A sustained olympiad-organising role, not a contestant role.2026
• Department/seniority read: LinkedIn titles both the SIG 2026 role and the caller lead as 'Software Engineer Intern' (not a trading/QR title); no evidence of a quant-research, trading, or strategy title. At SIG the SWE internship sits inside a quant trading firm, so the employer is quant-finance even though the specific function is software engineering.
• Education: Mathematics MSci at Imperial College London (2023-2027, 4 yrs); exchange year at ETH Zurich (2025-2026); European Baccalaureate at European School of Luxembourg 1 (2011-2023). The maths degree trajectory is consistent with an olympiad background.
• Luxembourg olympiad pipeline: the 2023 LIO prize ceremony article reports that Luxembourg's four laureates went on to the 35th IOI in Szeged, Hungary (28 Aug - 4 Sep 2023) and to the first WEOI in Eindhoven (16-18 June 2023) - context for the IOI 2023 Luxembourg team Murphy was part of.2023
• WEOI 2026 is sponsored by Jane Street (sponsor logo on the WEOI site) - the same firm where Murphy did a first-year insight programme; the sponsorship is a WEOI fact, not Murphy's employment.
