David Memarnishvili
Georgian olympiad contestant (IOI 2022 and IMO 2022 bronze medalist) and Codeforces 'David-M' (Master), now studying Mathematics and Computer Science at NTU Singapore. Competitive programming and olympiad-organising background, with a 2025 Quantitative Research Internship at MS Capital Singapore (Meridian & Saturn Capital).
- Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. LinkedIn enrichment (index-only) lists a 'Quantitative Research Intern' role at MS Capital Singapore (Singapore), dated 2025, with a description of engineering features from minute and tick data for US asset futures; the caller-supplied lead independently matches this (May-Aug 2025). MS Capital Singapore = Meridian & Saturn Capital (mscapital.sg), a MAS-licensed (CMS) institutional investment platform founded 2016, HQ Singapore with Hong Kong/Shanghai offices, running systematic China A-share market-neutral and systematic long/short equity strategies, so the employer is genuinely quantitative finance. A matching 'Intern - Quant Research at MS Capital Singapore' job posting (LinkedIn job 4168247610) confirms the firm runs such an internship program. Identity is supported: the same LinkedIn profile carries the IOI/IMO and Komarovi/NTU history matching the olympiad identity. Caveat: the specific role dates and description rest on the LinkedIn enrichment (index) record, not on a separately read primary page; exact dates are as reported there.Aug 2025
- Employer classification check: MS Capital Singapore is distinct from unrelated same-abbreviation firms (MS Capital LLC, a US 'Staffing and Recruiting' entity on mscapital.net; MS Capital Group of Japan; MS Capital Investment Banking). Their own site brands it 'Meridian & Saturn Capital' and describes systematic, machine-learning-driven China A-share alpha strategies, so the 'quant' label is substantiated by the firm's own description rather than the name alone.
- Won a bronze medal for Georgia at IOI 2022 (International Olympiad in Informatics), score 242.08, rank 98 of 349.Aug 2022
- Won a bronze medal for Georgia at IMO 2022 (International Mathematical Olympiad), rank 187, 27 points (68.4%).Jul 2022
- Index-only claim: the Mercor Intelligence 'LLM Trainer (Olympiad Math)' role (from Mar 2025) appears in the LinkedIn enrichment record; no independent page naming him at Mercor was found, so this is an index-only claim. Mercor is an AI data-labelling marketplace, not a quant-finance employer.Mar 2025
- Served as Jury Chair at the European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO), and was on the scientific/organising committees of the Georgian Olympiad in Informatics and the European Junior Olympiad in Informatics, plus IOI team coach for Georgia (2023-2024) - a sustained national olympiad-organising and coaching involvement rather than a one-off contest result.2024
- Competitive programming handle 'David-M' on Codeforces, registered ~10 years ago, listed as Master with historical max International Master (rating 2379); location listed as Tbilisi, Georgia / Nanyang Technological University.
- Undergraduate at Nanyang Technological University Singapore studying Mathematics and Computer Science (2024-2027), after Komarovi Campus School in Tbilisi (2017-2022); the Singapore location places him in the same city as the MS Capital internship.2024
- Modeling work for the Olympiad community: his LinkedIn lists authoring problems and building checkers, validators and test-case generators for contest committees, the kind of tooling that supports a claim of practical software/algorithmic skill rather than only contest performance.
- No X/Twitter account, personal website, blog, GitHub or published articles were found despite multiple angles (name-only, handle, site:github.com); public footprint outside LinkedIn, Codeforces and olympiad records is minimal, and no email or phone is publicly available.
