- Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Quantitative researcher at Graviton Research Capital LLP in Singapore since 2024, per the LinkedIn profile index (index/aggregator evidence, not independent primary-source confirmation). Employer classification is primary-source confirmed: gravitontrading.com's own About page calls Graviton a 'quantitative investment firm' / privately funded quantitative trading firm and the site describes a high-frequency, proprietary trading firm, so it genuinely operates in quantitative/systematic trading. The only other recorded employer, Huawei (2022, Junior Researcher, Cambridge), is technology R&D, not quant finance; the 2022 IMO Coordinator role is olympiad-organisation work, not finance employment and not a student program. Identity is supported by convergence of the official IMO records (Kazakhstan 2017-2019), Haileybury Almaty 2019 to Cambridge Mathematics, and the profile listing University of Cambridge plus an IMO 2022 (Oslo) coordinator role. No other quant internship, camp, insight day or incoming offer was found; the Graviton role is present-tense employment, not a student program.Mar 2024

- Employer classification: Graviton Research Capital LLP is confirmed by its own website to be a privately funded, proprietary high-frequency quantitative trading firm with offices in Mumbai, New York, Tokyo, Singapore, London and Hong Kong, so the role sits in systematic/algorithmic trading rather than a firm that merely contains 'quant' in its name.
