Evangelos Taratoris

Evangelos Taratoris is a quantitative-finance professional based in New York. He represented Greece at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2009 (Honourable Mention) and 2010 (Silver medal), then studied at MIT (BSc in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Mathematics, 2010-2014; MEng in Computer Science, 2014-2016). He was a software engineer at Akamai Technologies, then a Quantitative Research Engineer at Citadel, a Macro Analyst at Balyasny Asset Management, and, per LinkedIn index data, a Vice President in Fixed Income at Two Sigma from 2025. His public footprint outside professional directories is minimal.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Reasoning: the LinkedIn index records sequential full-time roles at Three quantitative-finance employers - Citadel (Quantitative Research Engineer, 2019-2021), Balyasny Asset Management (Macro Analyst, 2021-2025), and Two Sigma (Vice President, Fixed Income, 2025-). Two Sigma self-describes as a quantitative investment and trading firm and Balyasny/Citadel are hedge funds, so all three roles classify as quantitative finance. Identity is supported by the MIT education + olympiad record attached to the same name/profile. Caveat: the roles and dates are index-derived (LinkedIn enrichment), not confirmed against employer-published primary pages, so the CONFIRMED label rests on a supported identity plus an actual-role record rather than independent employer confirmation; Two Sigma as 'current' is index-only and may be stale.
• Identity resolution: the Greek IMO 2009/2010 contestant and the MIT-trained Two Sigma vice president are the same person. The MIT/Two Sigma LinkedIn profile carries an 'Honors & Awards' section, and the IMO contestant page links both the olympiad record and the MIT/Two Sigma career. Treat the composite as reconciled but note the olympiad and finance records each stand on their own sources.Sep 17, 2026
• Competed for Greece at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2009 (Bremen) and 2010 (Kazakhstan); earned Honourable Mention in 2009 and Silver medal in 2010 with a 21/42 score, ranking 106th.Jul 1, 2010
• Career timeline (index-only): Vice President, Two Sigma (2025-); Macro Analyst, Balyasny Asset Management (2021-2025); Quantitative Research Engineer, Citadel, Chicago (2019-2021); Software Engineer, Akamai Technologies, Greater Boston (2017-2019); Graduate Research Assistant, MIT (2016). All dates are index-derived and not independently confirmed against a primary employer page.
• Employer classification: Two Sigma Investments is a quantitative investment and trading firm (systematic hedge fund) - the homepage self-describes as 'a quantitative investment and trading firm' - so the current Vice President (Fixed Income) role sits squarely in quantitative finance.
• Two Sigma role is scoped to Fixed Income and carries the Vice President title with no stated team detail; per the index the role began 2025 and is current, but this read is index-only and may be stale - do not treat it as confirmed present employment.
• Employer classification: Balyasny Asset Management is a multi-strategy hedge fund investing across asset classes; the Macro Analyst role at a hedge fund qualifies as a quantitative-adjacent investing role.
• Employer classification: Citadel is a hedge fund; a 'Quantitative Research Engineer' role there is a quantitative finance role. Title and dates are index-only.
• Education (index-only): MEng in Computer Science (2014-2016) and a Bachelor's in EECS and Mathematics (2010-2014), both MIT; high school at Mandoulides Schools. MIT enrols in 2010 immediately after his final IMO appearance, consistent with a Greek high-school finish that year.
• Undergraduate research: MIT SuperUROP scholar (MIT EECS Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scholar) on 'Efficient Power Conversion for LED Lighting'; his MIT contact was [contact omitted]. Linked from the MIT SuperUROP scholars page, which was bot-blocked on direct fetch (index/snippet only).
• Research output: a ResearchGate profile exists under 'Evangelos Taratoris' (Master of Engineering / Bachelor of Science; MIT) with an item on an elementary proof of the prime number theorem; presence of analytic-number-theory work predates the finance career. ResearchGate blocked direct fetch, so this is index-only.
• Public footprint is essentially absent: no personal website, blog, verified X/Twitter, or published personal email surfaced in search; the only code trace is a dormant GitHub account (github.com/Arhimedes, 0 followers) that cannot be confirmed as his. The profile is recruiter/aggregator-driven rather than self-published.
