Victor Kostadinov

Victor Kostadinov is a Bulgarian mathematics competitor and undergraduate. He represented Bulgaria at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2024 in Bath, earning an Honourable Mention (rank 327, 15 points), as reported by the Bulgarian olympiad association and IMO's official results. He studied at the National High School of Mathematics and Informatics (PCHMG) in Sofia, where he won a bronze medal at the International Zhautykov Olympiad's 2022 edition. He is now an undergraduate reading Mathematics (BSc Maths '27) at Imperial College London, competing in the International Mathematics Competition (IMC) 2025 Round Two (Honourable Mention) and listing machine-learning research as an interest. His public profile lists student-facing quant programmes -- a Susquehanna Discovery Event (Apr 2025) and Jane Street's First-Year Trading & Technology Programme (Mar-Apr 2025) -- and Grader work at Art of Problem Solving; no employed or internship role at a quantitative-finance firm is documented in public sources.

Notes3

• Quant employment verification: UNRESOLVED. No actual past or present role or internship at a quantitative-finance firm is documented in any public source found; the only quant-sector entries on his public profile are student-facing programmes -- a Susquehanna International Group 'Discovery Event' (Apr 2025) and Jane Street's 'First-Year Trading & Technology Programme' (Mar-Apr 2025), which are recruiting/insight and education programmes, not employment. His only listed work is Grader at Art of Problem Solving (an educational company, not quant). Susquehanna (market maker) and Jane Street (quantitative trading) do operate in quantitative finance, but participation in their student programmes does not satisfy the CONFIRMED bar. Identity is supported: IMO 2024 participant 'Victor Kostadinov' (Bulgaria) matches the Sofia-based 'Victor Kostadinov, BSc Maths '27 @ Imperial | ML research' LinkedIn profile, and the IMO and IMC contest records are primary competition sources (Index/enrichment-derived role dates are index-only).
• Career timeline from profile/index enrichment lists only student-facing quant events (Susquehanna Discovery Event Apr 2025; Jane Street First-Year Trading & Technology Programme Mar-Apr 2025) plus Grader roles at Art of Problem Solving -- programmes, not employment.Sep 2026
• Identity: the IMO 2024 Bulgaria contestant 'Victor Kostadinov' matches the Sofia-based LinkedIn profile 'Victor Kostadinov, BSc Maths '27 @ Imperial | ML research' -- same country, aligned age/university stage; the IMO contest record lists PCHMG Sofia, and the Imperial IMC 2025 record corroborates the university independently of LinkedIn.Sep 2026
• Career trajectory points toward quantitative/mathematical work but stops at student programmes: IMO/IMC competition honours plus Susquehanna and Jane Street student programmes, with no employment recorded -- the profile is that of a strong maths undergraduate being recruited, not yet an employee at any firm.Sep 2026
