• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. LinkedIn work history lists two roles at Hudson River Trading: 'Algorithm Developer Intern' (2024, New York) and 'Winter Intern' (2023, New York). HRT is a quantitative/algorithmic trading firm (its own site and press describe it as an algorithmic trading firm, hudson-trading.com). Identity is supported by the matching Olympiad record (Xinghui Hu, Singapore, IMO 2020 & 2021) and MIT/Raffles education on the same profile. Caveat: both roles are recorded on the subject's own LinkedIn profile (returned via LinkedIn-derived enrichment), not independently confirmed by a third-party employer page; they are internships, not student insight days/camps.May 2024
