• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Theofanis (Fanis) Matsoukas held an actual role as Software Engineer at tradias (tradias.de) from 2022 to 2023, per his LinkedIn experience: 'Python developer - Team lead - Software architect ... developing a scalable and fast cryptocurrency trading platform for automatic OTC (Over the count[er])'. tradias is a regulated investment firm providing institutional crypto trading, liquidity and market making (its own site states it 'delivers institutional crypto trading, liquidity, and tokenization services'); industry classified as Banking. So the employer is a crypto trading/market-making firm, matching the 'crypto trading / market-making' category. Caveat: the role itself was software engineering (building the automated OTC trading platform), not a trading/quant desk role; identity is supported by the linked LinkedIn profile and the Oxford PhD / IMO record. No hedge-fund, bank, or asset-manager quant role is evidenced.2022
• Current role: Senior Software Engineer at Sitecore (company domain ordercloud.io), Athens, since 2024, per LinkedIn. Index-only claim: the Sitecore role and dates come from the ClickHouse people index, which mirrors the LinkedIn profile, not an independent primary-source confirmation.2024

• Undergraduate and master's education in Mathematics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH): BSc 1999-2003, MSc 2003-2005, before moving to Oxford for the DPhil. This is the standard Greek mathematics pathway and suggests continuous focus on pure mathematics through the 2000s.2003
• Publicly credited on the Sitecore engineering blog as part of the 'Sitecore Search' team for quick fixes and help diagnosing source indexing vs suggestion index behavior - a rare piece of third-party corroboration of his current employer beyond his own profile.2024
