I have a passion for solving well defined, challenging problems and learning new methods that help me do that.

• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. No indexed role is at a quantitative investment, trading or market-making firm. The only quant-adjacent item is Software Engineer at wikifolio Financial Technologies GmbH (Vienna, 2014-2016), whose role description includes implementing research projects for 'quantitative evaluation and backtesting of trading' strategies. That is index-only (LinkedIn enrichment), and wikifolio is a social/retail trading platform operator (wikifolio.com), not itself a quant fund, market maker, bank or proprietary trading firm; the employer classification is therefore ambiguous and the role text is unverified against a primary page, so quant employment is neither confirmed nor ruled out beyond this single datapoint.Sep 17, 2026
• Identity remains unresolved despite a caller lead: linkedin.com/in/tomas-vana-69764775 matches the caller-supplied wikifolio 2014-2016 role, but the same profile resolves via the people index to a Zurich-based Google software engineer with a Vienna/Bratislava career, matching the caller lead's company and dates.Sep 17, 2026
• Career shows no investment-bank, asset-manager, hedge-fund, market-maker, proprietary-trading, energy or crypto-trading employer; every listed employer is a software/CRM/risk-software or platform company, so across index and search evidence he does not appear to have held a quant-finance role.Sep 17, 2026
• Career arc reads as a continuous Vienna software-engineering path rather than one built around quantitative finance: AndOr SDC (Bratislava, 2007-2008) and avedos business solutions (2008-2011, risk2value product) precede update software AG (2012-2014) and wikifolio (2014-2016), then Google (Zurich, 2016 onwards) - the only role with any quant descriptor is the two-year wikifolio stint.Sep 17, 2026
• The caller identity lead JSON carries identity_match_evidence: [] (empty), so none of the caller's supplied facts were themselves corroborated - this profile treats the wikifolio role as a lead to verify, not an established fact.Sep 17, 2026
• LinkedIn index gives no email, phone, X, GitHub or personal website - contact details are not present in public/indexed data; the only contact surface is the LinkedIn profile itself.Sep 17, 2026
