Notes5

• Quant employment verification: NOT CONFIRMED. No actual past or present role or internship at a quantitative firm is supported. The only finance-sector signal is a 2025 Jane Street SEE (Trading Track) participation, which is explicitly a student event per Jane Street's own program page, so it does not qualify as employment. Identity is otherwise well supported (IOI 2024 silver for Kazakhstan, KAIST CS undergraduate, Codeforces 'Gamicrab'). Employer classification: Jane Street is a proprietary trading firm that does engage in quantitative trading, but no employment/internship relationship with it (or any other quant firm) was found. Searches for internships and role terms returned no primary evidence.Sep 17, 2026
