• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Two quantitative-finance employers are supported by a consistent identity chain (same name, Cambridge CS, IOI Italy 2017/2018, Amsterdam location across LinkedIn/GitHub/Facebook/X): a Quantitative Technologist role at Radix Trading LLC, a proprietary quantitative trading firm (2021-2025), and a Software Engineer internship at Jane Street, a quantitative trading firm (London, 2020). Both are actual past roles/internships, not student programs. Full detail: radix role (LinkedIn + Facebook 'Quant Tech at Radix Trading'); Jane Street internship (Facebook 'Former Software Engineer Intern at Jane Street Capital'). The current employer Boltz (2025-) is a biotech/ML company, not a quant finance firm.
