• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Pavel Sankin held the role 'Quantitative Technologist' at Radix Trading LLC, Jan 2023 - May 2026 (dates per index/LinkedIn-derived records). Radix Trading LLC is independently confirmed as a quantitative trading firm: its own site radixtrading.co describes a research firm monetized through trading with machine-learning/statistical methodologies, operating in Chicago, New York and Amsterdam on major electronic markets; press coverage describes it as an American proprietary/high-frequency trading firm. Employer classification: CONFIRMED quant trading/proprietary firm. Identity is supported by cross-platform links tying the same person: IOI 2020 Belarus contestant Pavel Sankin (stats.ioinformatics.org/people/7048), Codeforces 'Pankin' listing Minsk/Belarus and Jagiellonian University, Kaggle 'pavelsankin' ('Lyceum BSU graduate', same Codeforces/GitHub handles), and a Jagiellonian Mertens scholarship page listing 'Theoretical Computer Science Pavel Sankin Bialorus'. Employment EVIDENCE CAVEAT: the Radix role/title are index-only (LinkedIn enrichment / people-index), not corroborated by a Radix primary page; Radix does not publish individual employees. Student programs, the incoming-offer stage, and the non-compete headline are NOT counted as separate employment. An actual quantitative-technologist role at a confirmed quant firm plus a supported identity meets the criterion.Sep 17, 2026
• LinkedIn headline reads 'Non compete with Radix Trading LLC' and the About states 'Currently in a 12 month non compete'; a non-compete of that length is typical for quant-trading employment and implies his Radix employment ended with a restrictive covenant rather than a plain departure, consistent with the index end date of May 2026.Sep 17, 2026
• Distinguishing employment from non-employment: IOI 2020 (competition), the Mertens scholarship (scholarship) and the Zhautykov olympiad (competition) are not work. The Radix 'Quantitative Technologist' role is the only quant-sector employment lead; his Google post describes an internship (work) in his own words.Sep 17, 2026
• Won a bronze medal for Belarus at IOI 2020 (rank 121, score 294.93/600); the Belarus state press release on the 2020 IOI names 'graduate of the BSU Lyceum Pavel Sankin' among the medalists - confirming the high-school Olympiad identity in the brief.Sep 23, 2020
• Listed as Quantitative Technologist at Radix Trading LLC and shown as a member of the Radix Trading Amsterdam office on The Org, an aggregator; index/aggregator corroboration of the role, not primary-source confirmation.Sep 17, 2026
• Work history reported by the enricher (index-level, LinkedIn-derived), beyond Radix: Software Engineering Intern at Meta, Software Engineering Intern at Google, Junior Software Engineer at Huawei, and Software Engineering Intern at Yandex - a software-engineering early-career arc before Radix, all index-only and not individually primary-confirmed.Sep 17, 2026
• Official IOI statistics participant page records him as a 2020 IOI contestant for Belarus with the bronze; the authoritative Olympiad record.Sep 19, 2020
• Competitive Programming Hall of Fame links his Codeforces handle 'Pankin' and IOI profile as one person and records the IOI 2020 bronze (121, 294.93/600) - an independent cross-link tying the Codeforces identity to the IOI identity.Sep 19, 2020
• Codeforces handle 'Pankin' = Pavel Sankin, Master, max rating ~2150, representing Jagiellonian University; the same handle recurs across IOI/Codeforces/Kaggle, making it the unifying identity key.Sep 17, 2026
• His own LinkedIn post (2022) says 'My internship at Google is now over. I'm grateful for the experience gained ... Which is why I'm heading over to London for a Software Engineering Internship at ...' - an authored first-person confirmation of a Google internship followed by another internship (the 'Meta' attribution of that next internship is index-level).Jun 30, 2022
• Awarded the Franciszek Mertens scholarship at Jagiellonian University's Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, admitted to Theoretical Computer Science; the faculty results page lists 'Pavel Sankin' among Mertens scholars with an assigned tutor. A scholarship, not employment.Jan 1, 2022
• Studied at Jagiellonian University (Uniwersytet Jagiellonski w Krakowie): index reports a Bachelor's in Theoretical Computer Science; Codeforces organization confirms the university. Degree is index-reported, not read from a diploma/primary page.Sep 17, 2026
