Notes
  • Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED for quant-finance employment. Past internship roles include Quant Intern at Tudor Investment Corporation (New York, 2017) and Investment Associate Intern at Bridgewater Associates (Puerto Rico, 2018); current role is Portfolio Manager at Dark Forest Technologies (San Juan, Puerto Rico, from 2020). Identity is corroborated (LinkedIn 'diegoaroque' shows MIT + Dark Forest + the same roles; GitHub diego9627 gives the name and roque.id). Employer classification: Tudor Investment Corporation is a hedge fund and Bridgewater Associates is the world's largest hedge fund (both quantitative/systematic investment managers); Dark Forest Technologies / Dark Forest Capital Management LP is a systematic ('quant') hedge fund, confirmed by industry press describing it as a 'systematic hedge fund' and its FlexTrade OEMS deployment for 'quantitative and systematic trading'. All four roles come from LinkedIn index enrichment, i.e. index-only claims, not independently confirmed by a third-party primary source; treat titles/dates as self-reported.
  • Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED for quant-finance employment, with identity supported (LinkedIn 'diegoaroque' matches MIT + Dark Forest + the Olympiad profile; GitHub diego9627 gives the name and roque.id). Evidence is index-only/self-reported: role history is Quant Intern at Tudor Investment Corporation (New York, 2017), Investment Associate Intern at Bridgewater Associates (Puerto Rico, 2018), Research Engineer at Scale AI (2019-2020), and current Portfolio Manager at Dark Forest Technologies (San Juan, PR, from 2020). Employer classification: Tudor Investment Corporation is a hedge fund; Bridgewater Associates is a macro hedge fund; Dark Forest Technologies / Dark Forest Capital Management LP is a systematic ('quant') hedge fund per Form ADV ('Quantitative/Algorithmic Trading') and trade press. These are actual roles/internships, not student programs. No independent primary source (resume, firm roster, regulatory filing naming him) confirms the roles; treat as self-reported.
  • Olympiad record (primary source, IMO): represented Mexico at the IMO in 2010-2014, winning a Gold medal in 2012 (rank 33) and Silver medals in 2013 (rank 110) and 2014 (rank 124); these placements document sustained elite-level competition mathematics.
  • Title discrepancy within index data: the LinkedIn headline reads 'Partner at DFT' while the experience section lists 'Portfolio Manager' at Dark Forest Technologies - both are index-only (self-reported) claims and are not independently reconciled.
  • Olympiad record: represented Mexico at the IMO 2010-2014 and the IOI 2013-2014; the IOI statistics site lists him as a contestant for Mexico in 2013 and 2014.
  • MIT 6.042 (Spring 2018) staff page describes him as a sophomore studying Mathematics, placing undergraduate matriculation around 2016.
  • Co-author of 'Spectacular: Finding Laws from 25 Trillion Terms' (ICST 2023) with affiliation Dark Forest Technologies, New York.
  • Olympiad record (primary source, IOI statistics): contestant for Mexico at the International Olympiad in Informatics in 2013 and 2014; the CP Hall of Fame links his Codeforces handle Diego9627.
  • Research output: co-author of 'Spectacular: Finding Laws from 25 Trillion Terms' at ICST 2023, affiliated with Dark Forest Technologies (New York), collaborating with Chalmers and MIT researchers - a public attestation tying the Dark Forest role to a technical research contribution.
  • GitHub account github.com/diego9627 shows name 'Diego Alonso Roque Montoya', location Cambridge, MA, blog roque.id, created 2012 - name + personal-site match corroborate identity.
  • Public honor: the YouTube channel 'DiegoAlonsoRoqueMontoya' hosts clips including a Medalla al Merito Civico award ceremony and TV Azteca interviews, indicating recognition in Mexico for the Olympiad results.
  • MIT 6.042 (Spring 2018) staff page: 'Diego Roque ... a sophomore studying Mathematics', interested in programming languages, proof theory and politics, with contact [contact omitted]; matriculation about 2016 (index-only).
