• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only quant-finance-adjacent employer lead is Susquehanna International Group (SIG), a global market maker / proprietary trading firm, for a 'Software Development Intern' role (Jun-Aug 2019) per the caller-supplied lead. That role appears ONLY in the ContactOut aggregator record (index-only, all dates rendered as 'September 2026 to September 2026', i.e. unreliable) and is ABSENT from the LinkedIn enrichment work history, which lists no SIG role. No primary source (company page, resume, LinkedIn profile text) corroborates it. Identity itself is strongly supported (LinkedIn fprosk, IMO, MIT). Because SIG is genuinely a quant/market-making firm but the role is index-only and uncorroborated, classification is UNRESOLVED rather than CONFIRMED. Other listed employer XO Group Inc. (Software Engineering Productivity Intern) is a wedding-media company (The Knot), NOT quant finance.
• Represents Puerto Rico in the International Mathematical Olympiad: bronze medal 2015 (rank 257, 14 pts) and bronze medal 2016 (rank 146, 21 pts), and competed in 2013 (rank 460) — a three-year national-team Olympiad career in mathematics.
• Current role: Associate Analyst at Change Research, where he authors public opinion research (e.g. a July 22, 2026 national survey report on political fatigue), placing him in political data analytics rather than finance.Jul 22, 2026
• Timeline synthesis: Olympiad competition (2013-2016) precedes MIT (from 2016), which precedes political data roles (2024 DemExchange, 2026 Change Research); the public career trail is in political polling/data, with no primary-source evidence of durable quantitative-finance work beyond the single index-only SIG internship lead.
• Education: MIT Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Economics and Data Science (LinkedIn records 2016-2024 span; ESP lists graduation year 2023; Instagram bio says 'MIT 2024') — the graduation year is inconsistently reported across sources.
• Earlier political-data role: Data Analyst at Democratic Data Exchange (DemExchange), normalizing voter-contact Q&A into a standard legal-sharing format for campaigns and state parties.
• Recognized as a distinguished Puerto Rican mathematician honoree by the National Puerto Rican Day Parade for the IMO bronze medal.
• Technically adjacent prior role: Technical Data Analyst Fellow at Change Research before the Associate Analyst title — a pathway from fellow to analyst at the same firm.
• Media/panel appearance discussing Puerto Rico data and young-adult political attitudes on the Paseo Podcast (Episode 74) as an MIT undergraduate researcher.
• Worked as Grader and Teaching Assistant at Art of Problem Solving and as a tutor at Paper — math/CS tutoring, consistent with the Olympiad background but not finance.
• Taught MIT ESP enrichment classes (Rocket/Spark/Splash) across 2018-2023, including 'Basics of Political Polling' (Spark 2023, co-taught with Ahaan Rungta) and NFL/fantasy-football talks — an active MIT student-teaching footprint.
• Public voice: active on X/Bluesky/Instagram under handle 'fprosk'; biographical bio describes him as 'MIT '24, Boricua' with a sports/STEM bent and Boston-area location.
