- Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. The LinkedIn/enrichment person record for linkedin.com/in/tomasingi lists a full-time role 'Quantitative Analyst, Commodities' at SEB in Stockholm beginning August 2024 - an employment role, not a student programme. SEB (sebgroup.com) is a Swedish universal bank whose Markets division runs commodities and FICC trading and publicly recruits quantitative-analyst roles, so the employer qualifies as quantitative finance rather than merely carrying a 'quant' name. Identity is supported by the matching name, Icelandic IMO background, and KTH + University of Iceland education. Caveat: the role rests on the LinkedIn profile record returned by the person index and could not be independently confirmed from a SEB-owned page or press item (the live LinkedIn page returned 403 to scraping); the index is not treated here as independent primary-source confirmation.Aug 2024
- LinkedIn education: MSc in Machine Learning at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and two University of Iceland bachelor's degrees (Computer Science and Mathematics) - a maths/CS foundation matching both the olympiad history and the quant-analyst role.2024
- Iceland's team member at IMO 2018 (Cluj-Napoca): scored 10 points, ranked 368/593, awarded an Honourable Mention; per external olympiad results pages.Jul 2018
- Co-authored a peer-reviewed paper, 'Active model learning for the student nurse allocation problem' (IEEE SSCI 2022) with Rúnar Unnsteinsson and Thomas Philip Runarsson at the University of Iceland, placing his research in combinatorial optimisation / active learning.Dec 2022
- Won the Icelandic upper-secondary (framhaldsskóla) mathematics competition in early 2019 while a student at Menntaskólinn við Hamrahlíð (MH), reported by national media.Mar 3, 2019
- Earlier non-finance work on his profile: Software Developer and Teaching Assistant at Háskóli Íslands, Data Analyst at Innviðaráðuneytið (Iceland's Ministry of Infrastructure), and bicycle courier at aha.is (all index-reported), a student-era progression into his SEB role.
- A second University of Iceland paper, 'Automatic Synthesis of Constraints from Examples using Mixed Integer Linear Programming', carries his name with the same co-authors, indicating a research line in constraint synthesis / MILP beyond a single paper.2022
- Returned to IMO 2019 for Iceland, scoring 8 points, ranked 444/621, no award - sustained olympiad participation across two years.Jul 2019
- Also won the Icelandic upper-secondary chemistry competition in March 2019, reported by his school MH - top-of-cohort performance in both maths and chemistry in the same school year.Mar 28, 2019
- Selected on Iceland's Baltic Way 2018 team (St Petersburg, Nov 2018), listed as 'Tomas Ingi Hrolfsson' among Icelandic participants.Nov 2018
- SEB advertises a 'SEB Trainee Programme: Quantitative Analyst' entry route and FICC/FX-trading quant summer internships in Stockholm, so quantitative-analyst hiring at SEB runs through both graduate and trainee channels; this does not establish which channel he used.
- No personal website, blog, GitHub or X/Twitter account surfaced for him across repeated searches; his public footprint is the LinkedIn profile, olympiad/competition records, and academic papers.
