Ker Yang Lee

My interests lie with the art of problem solving. This has led to my passion in any related field, not just in Mathematics, but also in computing. Similarly, my hobbies include playing contract bridge and online puzzle games. In addition, I take pride in expressing and communicating my ideas, which has led to my passion for teaching. I seek opportunities in a dynamic and demanding work environment where I can leverage my analytical and problem solving abilities!

Notes2

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Ker Yang Lee's LinkedIn profile (index/enrichment) lists Quantitative Researcher at Quantedge (2024-present) and Quantitative Research and Trading Intern at Quantedge (2022), plus Quantitative Research Intern at Jump Trading Group (2023, London). Quantedge is a Singapore systematic multi-asset hedge fund (quantedge.com 'Award-Winning Quantitative Multi-Asset Fund'; Wikipedia describes it as a Singaporean hedge fund management firm), and Jump Trading Group is a proprietary algorithmic/market-making trading firm (jumptrading.com). Both are genuine quantitative finance employers, so the quant role history is confirmed by role type and employer classification. Note: role details rest on the LinkedIn index/enrichment record, not an independently read primary page.
• Won a Gold medal at IMO 2018 representing Singapore, scoring 32/42 (P1-P6: 7,7,3,7,7,1), ranked 27th, per the official IMO results tables; the IMO participant page for the ID returned no record, so the medal is sourced from the official individual/team results listings.
• The career trail is internally consistent end-to-end: Raffles Institution (2013-2018) -> national service (2019-2020) -> a 2021 teaching stint at Raffles -> Cambridge Mathematics (2021-2024) -> quant research internships at Quantedge (2022) and Jump Trading (2023) -> a return to Quantedge as a full Quantitative Researcher (2024-). Every gap-year is accounted for, which supports a single continuous identity rather than conflated namesakes.
• Education: read Mathematics as an undergraduate at the University of Cambridge (2021-2024) after GCE A-Levels at Raffles Institution, Singapore (2013-2018, H2 Physics, H2 Chemistry, H2/H3 Mathematics, H2 Economics). Cambridge + Raffles + IMO gold + quant internships form a consistent single identity trail.
• The two quant internships and the current role are all in research/strategy rather than trading-ops or a student program: Quantedge is a systematic fund and Jump Trading is a proprietary algorithmic trading firm, so the roles sit in genuine quantitative finance; the 2022 Quantedge role title explicitly combines research and trading.
• Competitive-programming presence under the handle 'klee (Ker Yang Lee)' appears as a ghost participant in ICPC Asia Qingdao Regional 2018 and Osijek Competitive Programming Camp standings on Codeforces, evidencing continued competitive math/CS activity; the handle is an inference from a name match on Codeforces, not a cross-linked verified account.
• The user-supplied role lead for a 2024-08 start of the Quantedge Quantitative Researcher role could not be verified to the month from a primary page; the LinkedIn index shows the role as 2024-present without an exact month, so the month is left as-is only where the source states it.
• Held a Mathematics Teacher role at Raffles Institution in 2021, teaching Mathematics to four Year 5 classes over ten weeks and setting class assignments/quizzes; this sits between A-Levels and the Cambridge start and aligns with the profile's stated passion for teaching.
• Served as a Security Trooper (Airforce) in the Singapore Armed Forces (2019-2020), with drone-combat training and search-and-locate work countering drones affecting airway operations (description links a Straits Times article); this is the Singapore national-service period between school and university.
