• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Supported identity: Miras Myrzakerey of Kazakhstan, IOI 2014 Silver medalist and Nazarbayev University alumnus, is cross-linked across the official IOI archive, his Codeforces handle Miras321, and Chromium commit authorship under 'Miras Myrzakerey <[contact omitted]>' matching his GitHub handle myrzakereyms. Employment evidence: his LinkedIn profile (index-derived, not independent primary-source confirmation) lists a Software Engineer role at Squarepoint Capital followed by a current Senior Software Engineer role at Bloomberg; the caller-provided lead dates the Squarepoint role Sep 2022 to Nov 2024. Employer classification: Squarepoint Capital is a systematic/quantitative investment manager (its own site: 'quantitative investment manager... systematic and quantitative'), so the Software Engineer role there is a genuine quantitative-finance technology role, not merely a company whose name contains 'quant'. Caveats: the Squarepoint and Bloomberg roles rest on LinkedIn/index data and were not corroborated by independent press or a résumé; no internship at any quant firm was found; no student program, insight day, or camp was found that would substitute for a role.Sep 2026
