Notes5

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. The target held a Software Engineer Internship at Jump Trading LLC (Jun-Aug 2018) and then full-time Software Engineer (2020-2023) rising to Technical Lead at Jump Trading Group (2023-present). Jump Trading is a proprietary trading firm engaged in quantitative/high-frequency and market-making trading, so this is directly quantitative-finance employment, not a student program or insight day. Identity is supported: the same LinkedIn profile matches the IOI Singapore contestant's name, NUS Mathematics and Computer Science education, and Singapore location; the 2018 Jump internship and 2020-2023 full-time role are corroborated by the LinkedIn-derived index and by search hits naming 'Wei Liang Gan - Software Engineer at Jump Trading LLC'. Earlier Tinkertanker internship (2016) is a technology/education company, not quantitative finance.Aug 2023
• Namesake caution: a different Wei Liang Gan is a molecular-biology researcher at the NUS Cancer Science Institute with publications on RNA editing and cancer (e.g. Experimental Hematology 2025); those research works belong to that separate person and must not be attached to this Jump Trading engineer.Jul 2025
