• Quant employment verification: NOT CONFIRMED. The only quant-adjacent item found is an index-only listing of 'Mathematics Teaching Assistant, AMP 2025' at Jane Street (Jun-Jul 2025). AMP is a Jane Street student educational program/camp and a teaching-assistant role within it is a student program, not an actual quantitative trading/investment role or internship. No verified past or present quant-finance employment (trading, market-making, hedge fund, systematic/algorithmic trading, bank/asset-manager/energy/crypto trading) was found; Jane Street does operate in quantitative trading, but the documented role type does not qualify as employment. Identity is supported (NZ IMO 2022 + CMU Math/CS), but the employment evidence is a student program only.2025
