• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Index (LinkedIn enrichment) shows a continuous, dated quant-finance career from 2006 (Bank of America quant equities) through Credit Suisse, Investec, Deutsche Bank, to Optiver options-pricing research. Identity is supported: the same profile carries the 2000-2003 Politehnica Bucharest and 2003-2006 Ecole Polytechnique education that matches the IMO-2000 Romanian contestant; no conflicting quant Dorian Dobrin surfaced. Employer classification verified: Optiver is a proprietary options market-maker, so a Researcher - Options Pricing role is unambiguously quant trading; the bank roles are quant equity/FX/derivatives desks. Caveat: role titles/dates rest on the LinkedIn index, not independently confirmed primary pages.

The two independent market-maker/quant roles and three bank quant roles are all genuine quant-finance employment, not name matches.
