• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. The only employment evidence is an index-derived LinkedIn record (headline "Quantitative Researcher", employer listed as "proprietary trading firm") and unverified third-party leads naming Quantedge as a 2018 quant research intern; no primary or independent source confirms either role, and the LinkedIn record's link to the IMO/MIT Hong Kong identity is not independently corroborated. Employer classification could not be verified; no confirmed past or present quant role or internship.
