• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. Identity is supported: LinkedIn /in/snasibov05 self-reports 'IOI Bronze', and the IOI stats page (people/7401) lists the Codeforces handle snasibov05, matching the LinkedIn username. The only quant-firm line is 'Incoming SWE Intern' at Jane Street (a quantitative market maker, janestreet.com), dated 2026-; the 'Incoming' label reads as a future offer rather than a role held, so whether it qualifies as an actual internship cannot be settled from the source. The 2024-2025 finance exposure is student insight programmes (Jane Street First Year Trading and Technology, Discover Citadel, D.E. Shaw London Insight, Macquarie Technology, IMC), which do not qualify. Completed roles are non-quant software engineering (HalalBooking 2024, Arm 2025). No completed past or present quant-finance role or internship is evidenced; Jane Street is verified as a quantitative finance firm.Sep 2026
• Read together, the timeline shows his only completed roles are software-engineering internships (HalalBooking 2024, Arm 2025) while every finance-firm line is a student insight programme or an incoming offer - so as of Sept 2026 there is no evidence of a completed quantitative role, and his professional record is a pure SWE track with finance exposure still at the student-programme stage.Sep 2026
• LinkedIn lists an 'Incoming SWE Intern' role at Jane Street (market maker, janestreet.com) dated 2026-; 'incoming' indicates a future offer rather than a completed/present engineering role as stated on the profile.Sep 2026
• Actual internship history is software engineering at Arm (2025) and HalalBooking (2024); the finance-firm exposure in 2024-2025 is grouped as student 'Insight Programmes' (Jane Street First Year Trading and Technology Programme, Discover Citadel, D.E. Shaw London Insight, Macquarie Technology, IMC), which are student programmes rather than employment.2025
• Baku's Modern Educational Complex named in honour of Heydar Aliyev publicised Said Nasibov, then an 11th-grade pupil there, winning bronze at IOI 2022 - the school's own identification ties the medal to the same individual who appears on LinkedIn as a CS and Maths student at Edinburgh, corroborating the identity across the Olympiad and UK-university records.Aug 18, 2022
• IOI 2021 and 2022 bronze medalist for Azerbaijan (rank 155-157/351 in 2021, 164/349 in 2022); the IOI profile also gives the Codeforces handle snasibov05, matching the LinkedIn username, which is the strongest cross-link tying the contestant identity to the LinkedIn profile.Aug 15, 2022
• LinkedIn profile /in/snasibov05 lists 'SWE Intern @ Jane Street | IOI Bronze | CS and Maths @ Edinburgh University', self-corroborating both the Olympiad identity and the university.Sep 2026
• Edinburgh BSc Computer Science and Mathematics (2023-2027), preceded by a UCL Undergraduate Preparatory Certificate (2022-2023) and a Baku high-school diploma (Modern Educational Complex named in honour of Heydar Aliyev, 2011-2022), i.e. relocated to the UK for a foundation year before starting the degree.2023
• He represented Azerbaijan at IOI in 2021 and 2022 while still a school pupil, then spent 2022-2023 on a UCL foundation (Undergraduate Preparatory Certificate) year before starting the Edinburgh degree in 2023, placing his Olympiad record before, not during, his UK university CS study.2023
• Azerbaijan's IOI squad has been prepared under Azercell's partnership with the Ministry of Education and the national informatics team since 2017, so Nasibov's medals sit inside a state-and-corporate national-team pipeline rather than an individual-effort track; the same programme produced the country's other informatics medalists.Aug 2022
• No public GitHub, personal site, blog, X/Twitter account, or email for Said Nasibov surfaced across LinkedIn, Google, IOI, Codeforces and AtCoder checks; the only public handle is the competitive-programming alias snasibov05 (Codeforces/AtCoder).Sep 2026
• A '#IOI2021' congratulation post from an account using the Nasibov surname (Latifa Nasibova) calling him 'my son' is an independent family-and-Olympiad signal, adding a public trace beyond the LinkedIn and IOI profiles.Jun 2021
