Notes12

• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only employment evidence available is LinkedIn-derived index records (identity lead taiga-779911635) listing Software Engineer roles at Jane Street (New York 2024; London 2025) and QuantCo (Zurich 2022, 2023); no Jane Street or QuantCo primary source (careers, team page, bylined post, or the live LinkedIn profile) was read that independently confirms these roles, so they remain index-only and explicitly uncertain. Identity is supported independently (Swiss IOI competitor, MIT CS BS '25/MEng '26 per stats.ioinformatics.org and GitHub). Employer classification: Jane Street IS a quantitative trading firm/market maker (operates in quantitative finance); QuantCo is NOT a quant trading or market-making firm despite the name - public site describes data-science/software work ('value from data'). So even if the index records are accurate, only the Jane Street roles are quantitative-finance employment; the QuantCo roles are software/data-science roles at a non-trading company. CONFIRMED is not claimed because the roles rest on index-only records.2025
• Three-time IOI bronze medalist for Switzerland: IOI 2017 (Tehran), IOI 2018 (Tsukuba) and IOI 2019 (Baku); stats.ioinformatics.org lists him under the Swiss delegation (person 6366).2019
• QuantCo (the 2022/2023 lead) markets itself as 'value from data' with an about page framed around data science, i.e. a data-science/software services company, not a market maker or trading firm - the 'quant' in the name is not a quant-finance signal.
• Holds a BS (2025) and is pursuing an MEng (2026) in Computer Science and Engineering at MIT; GitHub bio states 'CS BS & MEng @ MIT '25, '26' and 'iOS & Android Developer'.2026
• GitHub account NMAC427 (113 followers, 44 public repos) is his: bio 'CS BS & MEng @ MIT '25, '26' ties the account to the same MIT identity, with Swift/Python as top languages.2026
• Attended Kantonsschule Wettingen (Matura, Physics and Applied Mathematics, 2016-2020) before MIT, per LinkedIn-derived education records.2020
• Jane Street's own site describes its technology work and runs a Graduate Research Fellowship, corroborating that the firm is a technology-heavy quantitative trading firm - classification evidence for the employer side of the verification note.2026
• Maintains guess-indent.nvim, an automatic-indentation Neovim plugin, a widely used open-source developer tool.
• MIT men's lightweight crew roster (2025-26) lists Nicolas Camenisch, confirming he rows on the MIT lightweight crew team - a non-academic activity corroborating identity.2025
• Swiss press coverage of the national informatics olympiad team names him as an Aargau Kantonsschueler winning bronze, corroborating the IOI record with independent media.2018
• Built 12ft, a Safari extension to bypass paywalls, one of his public iOS/macOS projects.
• Published Punch Board Calculator on the Apple App Store (id1130695925), an independent iOS app.
