• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. An index (aggregator) person record for the LinkedIn profile zakaria-ajerame-89bb51224 lists an actual internship, 'eFX Quantitative Researcher intern' at BNP Paribas, Global Markets, Paris (started 2025), plus a 2024 'Data Science and Research Intern' role at BNP Paribas. BNP Paribas is a global bank whose Global Markets division runs FX/electronic-FX trading, so it is a genuine quantitative-finance employer, not a company trading only on the word 'quant'. Identity is supported: the name matches the Morocco IMO 2019 contestant Zakaria Ajerame (IMO official results), and the education path (CPGE Louis-le-Grand, then CentraleSupélec Applied Mathematics and Quantitative Finance) is consistent. Caveat: the employment details are index/aggregator-derived only and are not independently confirmed by a primary BNP Paribas or personal source; the index also labels the role current, which is not taken as fact.May 2025
• Represented Morocco at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2019 in Bath, UK, scoring 12/42 and receiving an Honourable Mention; IMO official individual rank 376.Jul 2019
• Identity corroboration is indirect: the IMO 2019 record and the CentraleSupélec/BNP LinkedIn record share the exact name 'Zakaria Ajerame' and a coherent Morocco-to-France maths-elite path, but no single source cross-links the Olympiad result to the LinkedIn profile, so the two records are linked by name and trajectory rather than a primary cross-reference.
• Named as one of the six members of Morocco's national IMO 2019 team by MathMaroc (Moroccan maths-olympiad magazine), alongside Ziad Eddine Oumzil, Marouane Chafi, Adam El Oirghi, Mariam Elkhatri and Inès Tiali Bouzidi.Jun 2019
• Two of the three listed roles are non-quant: 2023-2024 Data Science Intern at Monk AI (a Paris AI/computer-vision company for vehicle damage assessment) and a 2024 Data Science and Research internship at BNP Paribas; only the 2025 BNP Paribas Global Markets eFX role sits in quantitative trading, which suggests the quant strand is recent rather than a long quant track.
• Education path: CPGE MPSI/MP* at Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris (2019-2021) after the Moroccan baccalaureate (série sciences mathématiques, per a school Facebook post), then CentraleSupélec engineering diploma in Applied Mathematics and Quantitative Finance (2021-2025).
• An aggregator contact page (contactout) also ties the name 'Zakaria Ajerame' to BNP Paribas, reinforcing but not independently confirming the BNP employment; it is an aggregator, not a primary source.
• No personal website, blog, GitHub, X/Twitter or public writing was found under this name; public footprint is limited to LinkedIn, olympiad records and Moroccan/French school pages.
