Omurbek Dzhamalov is a Kyrgyz software and quantitative researcher. He represented Kyrgyzstan at the International Olympiad in Informatics, winning a bronze medal at IOI 2019 (Codeforces handle 'Dude...o_O'). He studied Mathematics and Computer Science at KAIST in South Korea and data science at the Yandex School of Data Analysis, and his recorded career spans software and geo-data engineering (TimelySoft, Yandex, Yandex.Maps), technical research engineering (Huawei), and coaching an ICPC team at the University of Central Asia, before a Quantitative Researcher role at Teza Technologies, a Chicago-founded high-frequency trading firm. Employment history is drawn from the LinkedIn index record; no personal website, GitHub, or X account was found.

Notes2

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. The LinkedIn enrichment record (index data) lists a Quantitative Researcher role (and a separate dated Quantitative Researcher entry, Nov 2025-Mar 2026) at Teza Technologies, and Teza Technologies' own site describes the firm as a private high-frequency trading shop founded in 2009 by Misha Malyshev — so Teza is a genuine quantitative trading firm, not merely a name containing 'quant'. The role rests on the index record for the published LinkedIn profile (the one detailed employment source available); no additional independent primary source naming him at Teza was found, so the earlier role's dates remain index-only.
• Teza Technologies is a real quantitative trading business: teza.com states it was 'founded in 2009 ... and began life as a private high-frequency trading shop,' with a research-and-engineering focus — this is employer classification, not the firm's marketing name.
• Confirmed IOI bronze medalist for Kyrgyzstan at IOI 2019 on the official IOI statistics site, which also links his Codeforces handle 'Dude...o_O'.
• University of Central Asia's Naryn Campus ran a programming bootcamp (Jan 2022); he appears among the programme's coaches/instructors, aligning with the LinkedIn 'Co-coach of ICPC Team at University of Central Asia' entry.
• Education: BA-track study in Mathematics and Computer Science at KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) plus the Yandex School of Data Analysis (data science), per the LinkedIn enrichment record.
• Work history (LinkedIn index only): GeoData Analyst at Yandex.Maps, Technical Research Engineer at Huawei, Software Engineer at Yandex, Software Engineer at TimelySoft (a Bishkek software firm) — a path that moves from software/geo-data engineering toward research engineering before the quant role.
• Profile is minimal and engineer-like: headline is only 'curious', location South Korea — consistent with the KAIST period.
