• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. An actual internship role - Summer Analyst at Kronos Research, Taipei, dated 2021 (Jun-Sep per the caller's lead) - is listed on his LinkedIn; Kronos Research is a crypto proprietary trading and market-making firm per its own site, so this is genuine quantitative-finance work rather than a competition, camp, or scholarship. Identity is supported by the IOI 2018 Taiwan record and the Codeforces 'boook' profile (both name Dao-Yun Peng / NTU / Taiwan), though the LinkedIn page itself was not independently readable in this run (403), so the role rests on index-derived LinkedIn data plus the employer's own classification.2021
