• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Source: his LinkedIn profile lists a role 'Algo Trader at Wintermute' (Singapore, 2022-2023, 1 yr), a crypto market maker and algorithmic trading firm (wintermute.com/algorithmic-trading). This is an actual past role, not a student program, competition, insight day or offer. Identity is supported: the same LinkedIn profile states he was Singapore's country representative at the 2008 International Mathematics Olympiad, matching the IMO 2008 participant record on moresults.org/imo-official.org. Caveat: the role evidence is self-reported on LinkedIn (accessed via an index), not independently corroborated by Wintermute or a third party; the company's quant/crypto-trading classification is confirmed by Wintermute's own site.Mar 2023
• Held an 'Algo Trader' role at Wintermute (Singapore) from 2022-10 to 2023-03 (~1 year), a Singapore-based crypto trading stint, per his LinkedIn. Index-sourced (LinkedIn), not independently corroborated.Mar 2023
• Identity reconciliation: the LinkedIn profile jun-ren-lim-bb8444220 is the same person as IMO 2008 Singapore contestant Jun Ren Lim — his own LinkedIn summary cites 'Country representative in the International Mathematics Olympiad (2008)', and he is the only Jun Ren Lim associated with Wintermute in people search. This supports, but does not independently prove, that the trading career and the Olympiad contestant are one person.
• Worked at the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as a Financial Risk Specialist, reportedly covering financial risk supervision (auditing market, credit and counterparty credit risks of banks) and Basel risk capital policies; MAS is Singapore's central bank and financial regulator, i.e. a public-sector regulator rather than a quant fund or trading firm. Index/LinkedIn-sourced.
• Evidence ceiling: no independent primary source (employer page, press, regulatory filing, talk or bylined article) was found confirming the Wintermute or MAS roles or the exact dates; all employment facts rest on his self-reported LinkedIn (accessed via an index), which is why the timeline should be treated as self-reported rather than externally verified.
• Wintermute is a crypto market maker and algorithmic-trading firm (its own site describes 'algorithmic trading' and global crypto liquidity), so the 'Algo Trader' title sits squarely in quantitative/crypto trading rather than a name-only match.Sep 2026
• Represented Singapore at the 2008 International Mathematical Olympiad, earning an honourable mention with 12 points and rank 297/535 (P1=7, P2=1, P4=4). This is the primary identity anchor linking the Olympiad name to the LinkedIn profile, which self-reports the same 2008 IMO country-representative claim.Jul 2008
• Education: BEng/MEng in Mathematics and Computer Science at Imperial College London (2011-2014) and an MSc in Risk Management and Financial Engineering at Imperial (2014-2015); attended Raffles Institution, Singapore. Index/LinkedIn-sourced, dates from his own profile.Jun 2015
• Describes himself as the 'top mathematics and computer science graduate in Imperial College London' — a self-reported claim on his LinkedIn bio, not independently verified by Imperial.
• Authored a self-published paper titled 'Non-zero sum games in the real world: A Novel Methodology to unconditionally rank strategies' as a personal ('Freelance') interest project on game theory. Not peer-reviewed or independently published; cited from his own LinkedIn entry.
• Completed an undergraduate honors dissertation as a student researcher at Imperial College London; listed on LinkedIn with no self-reported quant-industry role at that stage.Jun 2014
• Stated interests/skills: trading, market psychology, crypto and quantitative algorithms, framed on his profile as an interest in innovative thinking.
