Notes7

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. The person held a quantitative trading internship at Optiver in 2022, an actual role (not a student program). Identity is supported by Olympiad records (Malaysia, IMO 2015-2018) consistent with his National University of Singapore quantitative-finance education, and the same profile lists Optiver, NUS RMI, WorldQuant and the NUS Investment Society quantitative-finance roles. Optiver is a genuine proprietary trading and market-making firm (self-described as a technology and research-driven trading firm providing liquidity across global markets), so the employer classification is supported. Other candidate roles (NUS Risk Management Institute Quantitative Analyst, NUS Investment Society) are quantitative but institutional/academic rather than a trading firm.Aug 2022
• The LinkedIn index (enrichment) reports a 'Quantitative Trading Intern' at Optiver, Singapore, dated 2022, as the most recent listed role; this is index/provider data, not independent primary-source confirmation.
• A later search surfaced an index headline titling the same profile 'Sean Gee - Trader' (company shown as Optiver), which differs from the 2022 intern entry; the two index snapshots conflict, so neither should be read as confirming a current Optiver role, and no primary source places him there after 2022.Aug 2022
