Portrait of Malte Möser

I build data infrastructure for blockchain analysis, and I'm bringing AI into both how it's built and what it can do.

Now

Day to day, I build what turns raw blockchain data into hundreds of millions of insights investigators can act on: data pipelines in Databricks and serverless services on AWS (Lambda, SQS/SNS, DynamoDB).

Increasingly, LLMs are part of the pipelines themselves, classifying and enriching data, and agentic tools are part of how I build and maintain them.

Some of this work starts as research: figuring out how a protocol behaves, then building the datasets that make that behavior analyzable.

None of it happens alone: I work closely with PMs, investigators, intelligence analysts, and data scientists across the company to make sure what we build holds up in real casework.
