• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. Identity is supported (IMO 2020 and 2021 silver for Armenia per imo-official; Armenian Olympiad press; LinkedIn). The only employment evidence is his LinkedIn-derived profile (a LinkedIn index/aggregator, not an independent employer source): Quantitative Researcher at Teza Technologies (from Jul 2025) and AI Developer at Sberbank (Dec 2024 - May 2025). Teza Technologies is confirmed as a genuine quantitative finance employer — its own site calls it 'a systematic trading firm' and it began as a private high-frequency trading shop — so the Quantitative Researcher seat would be a real quant role if accurate, but the employment was not independently confirmed by any Teza page, filing, or other primary source. Role classification: Teza = systematic/HFT quant trading (qualified); Sberbank = AI Developer, not a trading or investment role. Marked UNRESOLVED rather than CONFIRMED because the role rests on index/LinkedIn-derived data alone.Jul 2025
