Notes
  • Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Evidence: the subject's own LinkedIn profile (and its Google-indexed title) states 'Software Developer at G-Research' from Aug 2018, an actual full-time role (not a student program/insight day); identity is supported by the matching IMO 2009 Iceland participation and education timeline. Employer classification: G-Research operates in quantitative research/technology (per its own site), so the role sits inside quantitative finance. Caveat: the role evidence is the subject's self-reported LinkedIn profile, not an independent third-party source.
