Notes7

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. The subject's LinkedIn profile lists an actual internship - 'Intern' at Ellington Management Group (2014-2017) - and the profile identity is supported (name plus Harvard and Stanford education matching the official Stanford faculty page and Harvard CV). Ellington Management Group is a hedge fund / investment management firm, so the employer genuinely operates in quantitative/algo-adjacent investing, not a name coincidence. Caveats retained: the internship is an index-only LinkedIn claim (no independent primary-source confirmation of the role, dates, or duties); its 2014-2017 span overlaps his Harvard undergraduate years; and the role is an internship, not a full-time quant position.Sep 17, 2026
