• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. He held actual financial-engineering roles at institutions whose business is investing/risk management: Financial Engineer at Cardano (Rotterdam pension & financial risk-management / investment adviser) in 2014, and architect/main developer of yield-curve and risk modelling software at OGResearch (macro/yield-curve advisory to central banks, 2012-2016). Cardano and OGResearch are institutional investment/risk-management firms rather than proprietary high-frequency or hedge-fund trading desks, so the match is to quantitative-finance-adjacent roles (financial engineering, modelling, risk/valuation tooling) rather than a market-making/systems-trading seat; his CLEO Finance work is trading-platform SOFTWARE engineering, not trading. Identity is supported by the IMO records matching his Czech background; employment classification is based on the companies' own published business, though the role dates themselves remain LinkedIn-index-only.Sep 2026
• Career timeline (LinkedIn, index-derived): IPS AG junior C# developer 2011-2012; OGResearch macro/software developer 2012-2014; Cardano (Rotterdam) Financial Engineer 2014; OGResearch financial software developer (freelance) 2014-2016; self-employed crypto-trading platform 2018; Minerva BizMachine senior software developer 2016-2019; CLEO Finance team lead/senior C# developer 2019-present.Sep 2026
• CLEO Finance sells a white-label crypto and FX/CFD prop-trading platform (sub-10ms execution, open API) to prop firms; his role building that trading platform is software engineering for a trading-technology vendor, not a quantitative trading seat.Sep 2026
• All employment and education facts here trace to a single LinkedIn profile surfaced through a people index; that is index-only evidence and not independent primary-source confirmation of any employer or degree.Sep 2026
• IMO identity: František Konopecký represented the Czech Republic at IMO 2005, ranking 29th at 94.5% with a Gold award and 36 points (P1-P5=7, P6=1) per the official IMO contestant page; the same page lists an IMO 2005 entry under Czech Republic.Jul 2005
• IMO 2004 (the other year in the brief) was a Silver award, not gold: the official Czech team page lists František Konopecký 93rd at 81.1%, 26 points (P1=7,P2=2,P3=1,P4=7,P5=7,P6=2) for IMO 2004.Jul 2004
• LinkedIn enrichment (index-only, not independent primary-source confirmation) backs a Prague-based C# developer with a master's in Mathematical Analysis from Charles University (2005-2011) and an MA in Business Administration from the University of Economics, Prague (2010-2013).Sep 2026
• OGResearch is a macroeconomics/yield-curve advisory firm (founded 2006, offices in Prague, Budapest, Brno, Belgrade) that builds yield curves, FX forecasts and risk models for central banks and corporates - a modelling/risk role there counts as financial engineering, not trading.Sep 2026
• Cardano (Rotterdam, cardano.nl) is a pension and financial risk-management / investment advisory firm; his 2014 Financial Engineer role there was a temporary placement arranged through OGResearch, which shows financial-engineering experience at an institutional risk manager rather than a proprietary/quant trading firm.2014
• His two IMO appearances (2004 silver, 2005 gold) put him in the top of Czech secondary-school mathematics; the 2005 award came with the Jaroslav Heyrovsky Foundation Prize, which recognizes the country's best olympiad students (he is listed as a student of Gymnázium L. Jaroše Holešov).Jan 2006
• The mathematical-analysis MSc dates (2005-2011) begin the year he last competed at the IMO, consistent with a standard Czech university start after secondary school; the analysis background lines up with his later financial-modelling and trading-platform work.Sep 2026
• The mathematical-analysis MSc at Charles University (2005-2011) begins the year of his last IMO, consistent with entering university after secondary school; the analysis background lines up with his later yield-curve modelling and trading-platform work.Sep 2026
