Sebin Kim
Sebin Kim is a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at Seoul National University (entered 2020) and a Gyeonggi Science High School for the Gifted alumnus. He represented the Republic of Korea at the International Olympiad in Informatics in 2018 and 2019 (gold medals, rank 18 both years) and, per competitive-programming aggregators, later earned ICPC World Finals medals in 2021 and 2022. His documented experience is research-oriented: research-intern roles at the AI healthcare startup DeepMetrics (2023, 2024) and at the game developer KRAFTON (2024), plus a quant-adjacent internship claimed at the crypto asset manager Hyperithm (2022). LinkedIn lists ongoing Republic of Korea Air Force military service from 2024.
- Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only quant-adjacent employment lead is an index-only ClickHouse/LinkedIn claim of 'Intern' at Hyperithm, Seoul (2022). Hyperithm is verified as a quant/crypto asset manager - its own site states it delivers market-neutral returns through systematic arbitrage across digital and traditional asset markets and lists 'Proprietary Trading' as a field of business - so it qualifies as a quant employer, not merely a name containing 'quant'. But the role itself appears only in the ClickHouse people index; no independent primary source (Hyperithm team/intern page, a post, a resume) corroborates that Sebin Kim worked there. Identity is otherwise supported (IOI 2018/2019 for Korea, SNU CSE, matching LinkedIn). Because the sole quant role rests on index-only data lacking primary confirmation, treated as UNRESOLVED, not CONFIRMED.
- LinkedIn headline reads 'Undergraduate Student @ SNU CSE | IOI 2018', cross-linking the SNU CSE enrollment with the IOI 2018 Olympiad identity.
- Won gold medals for the Republic of Korea at the International Olympiad in Informatics in both 2018 and 2019 (rank 18 each year); the IOI statistics page is the primary source and links a Codeforces handle, while the Competitive Programming Hall of Fame is an aggregator of the same results.
- Competitive Programming Hall of Fame (aggregator) also records ICPC World Finals gold in 2021 (rank 4) and silver in 2022 (rank 6) and $5,400 total prize money - results consistent with competitive programming at Seoul National University, not primary-source confirmed here.
- Index-only claim (ClickHouse/LinkedIn): Research Intern at DeepMetrics in both 2023 and 2024. DeepMetrics is an AI-driven ICU-automation / digital-healthcare startup (Seoul), not a quant or trading firm, so these roles are ML research, not finance.
- Index-only claim (ClickHouse/LinkedIn): Republic of Korea Air Force military service as the current role from 2024 - the standard Korean military-service gap taken mid-university, which places active employment (if any) after service ends.
- Undergraduate in Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University (entered 2020) after Gyeonggi Science High School for the Gifted (2017-2020); depth of research-intern roles alongside a 7-year listed degree suggests a research-track CSE student.
- Handles 'blackbori' (Codeforces) and 'SebinKim' (AtCoder/Codeforces) are linked to this Sebin Kim by the IOI statistics page and the CP Hall of Fame aggregator.
- Index-only claim (ClickHouse/LinkedIn): Research Intern at KRAFTON Inc. (Seoul) in 2024. KRAFTON is a video-game developer/publisher (PUBG), not a quantitative finance employer.
- SNU competitive-programming strength: the same aggregator lists this name's ICPC World Finals medals (2021 gold, 2022 silver), implying sustained contest participation through university.
- No personal website, blog, GitHub, or published articles surfaced across web and profile searches; public footprint is limited to the LinkedIn profile, the IOI statistics page, and competitive-programming aggregators.
