• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only evidence of a quantitative-finance role is the index enrichment record (title 'Quantitative Trader', employer 'Tower Research Capital', dates '2026–'), which is an aggregated index claim and NOT primary-source confirmation; no primary LinkedIn or employer page could be read (LinkedIn returned a reCAPTCHA challenge). Identity is supported (IMO record, MIT headline), but no actual past/present role or internship is confirmed by a primary source. Tower Research Capital is a proprietary high-frequency trading firm (market maker / systematic trading), so if the role is real it would qualify as quantitative trading employment; index-only, retention of uncertainty required.Sep 17, 2026
