- IMO 2009 result: gold medal, rank 4 with 39 points; IMO 2010: gold medal, rank 7 with 35 points, both for the Russian Federation (imo-official.org contestant page).
- Indexed LinkedIn profile (linkedin.com/in/vitekmel, username 'vitekmel') lists headline 'Quant', title Quantitative Researcher and current company ReLU Investments, location Yerevan, Armenia - index-only backbone, not independent primary-source confirmation.
- Indexed employment: ReLU Investments (Quantitative Researcher, 2025-12 to present; 2023-06 to 2024-03; 2018), Order Capital (Quantitative Researcher, 2021-11 to 2023-04, Dubai), Alterra.ai (Data Scientist, 2017/2018/2020-2021), Google (Software Engineer, 2019-2020, Munich), Yandex (Machine Learning Engineer, 2016-2017), WorldQuant (Quantitative Researcher, 2015).
- Employer classification: Order Capital states on its own site that it 'specializes in software development and automated trading' and uses 'quantitative trading', 'ML' and an 'ultra-low latency platform' for 'high-frequency trading' -> operates in quantitative finance.
- Employer classification: WorldQuant is 'an international hedge fund and quantitative investment management firm' (Wikipedia) and 'a global quantitative asset management firm' (WorldQuant) -> operates in quantitative finance.
- Employer classification: Alterra.ai is a Deep Learning / NLP startup building conversational AI assistants (alterra.ai) - NOT a quantitative finance firm.
- Employer classification: Google and Yandex are general technology companies, not quantitative-finance firms.
- Employer classification: ReLU Investments could not be tied to a citable quant-finance business on the open web in this run; the classification rests on the index role titles alone and is labelled index-only.
- Education: Master's in Mathematics, Lomonosov Moscow State University (2010-2015); undergraduate Mathematics, Independent University of Moscow (2010-2012); Machine Learning Developer, Yandex School of Data Analysis (2018-2019), per the indexed profile.
- Competitive programming: two ICPC World Finals gold medals (2014, 2015) with Moscow State University, and 24th in Google Code Jam 2017 (cphof.org profile 'TeaPot').
- ReLU Investments order-capital role check: Order Capital's own careers page recruits 'Research Engineer' for its 'trading team' requiring 'Olympiad background' and Codeforces-red algorithmic skill - consistent with an algorithmic-trading employer.
- Quant career timeline from the index runs ReLU (2018) -> Order Capital (2021-11 to 2023-04) -> ReLU (2023-06 to 2024-03) -> ReLU (2025-12 to present); no source beyond the index confirms any of these roles.
