• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. LinkedIn (index-derived) lists an actual role - Quantitative Research Consultant at WorldQuant, Dec 2018 - Sep 2019 - plus an Analyst Intern role at Apdax, May 2018 - Dec 2018, on the profile whose education (SPbSU Mathematics and Mechanics; ITMO Megafaculty of Translational Information Technologies, mathematical software for global financial systems) matches the IOI 2010 / Codeforces identity. The WorldQuant/Apdax role details rest on the index-derived LinkedIn enrichment (index-only claim), not an independent primary source. Employer classification: WorldQuant is a quantitative asset manager (systematic/quantitative investment), qualifying as a quantitative-finance employer; Apdax is described on apdaxco.com as an enterprise data-management / big-data software firm (founded June 2016), so 'Analyst Intern at Apdax' is not established as a quantitative-finance role. The undated second WorldQuant entry cannot be dated and is treated as the same WorldQuant tenure.Sep 2019
• Won the Facebook Hacker Cup 2012 (first place, $5,000), completing one problem correctly in 1h04m - a top-tier competitive-programming win two years after IOI.Mar 19, 2012
• Identity resolved: the WorldQuant-linked LinkedIn is the IOI 2010 Russian competitor - the profile's education (SPbSU Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics, then ITMO Megafaculty of Translational Information Technologies) aligns with the competitive-programming record (Codeforces romanandreev, 'From Saint Petersburg SU'), supporting the match; employment details remain index-derived until independently confirmed.Aug 1, 2010
• LinkedIn lists three roles: Quantitative Research Consultant at WorldQuant (Dec 2018 - Sep 2019, ~10 months - a short tenure), Analyst Intern at Apdax (May - Dec 2018), and an internship at Lanit-Tercom; no pre-2018 work history is shown, so the early career is undocumented.Sep 2019
• Employer classification: WorldQuant is a quantitative asset-management firm; Apdax (apdaxco.com) is an enterprise data-management / big-data software company founded June 2016, and Lanit-Tercom (lanit-tercom.ru) is a Russian science-intensive software developer - so only WorldQuant is a quantitative-finance employer.Jun 1, 2016
• IOI 2010, Waterloo Canada: silver medal, score 678, listed as 'Roman Valeryevich Andreev', rank 34-35 - the olympiad result that anchors the identity.Aug 1, 2010
• After the Dec 2018 - Sep 2019 WorldQuant role the public record shows no dated employment; the profile location reads Udmurtia, Russia, and no current role is listed, so current employment should not be inferred from this index.Sep 17, 2026
• Several unrelated people share the name Roman Andreev (a hockey player born 2010, a boxer born 1986, a trader with a separate roman-andreev.ru site, an ITMO physics lecturer), so facts not tied to the IOI/SPbSU/competitive-programming identity were excluded.Sep 17, 2026
• Education: Master's at ITMO University (Megafaculty of Translational Information Technologies, mathematical and software support of global financial systems) and Bachelor's at Saint Petersburg State University (Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics, Mathematical Support and Administration of Information Systems) - the ITMO master's title places advanced study explicitly in the financial-systems domain.Jan 1, 2018
• Codeforces handle romanandreev is registered as 'International Master', city Saint Petersburg, organization Saint Petersburg SU - a second independent identity anchor linking the programmer to SPbSU.Jan 1, 2024
• Served as Deputy Leader of the Russian delegation at IOI 2016, evidence of continued ties to competitive programming after competing.Aug 1, 2016
