Senior Intelligence Analyst · Los Angeles
I turn raw events into published intelligence
Production LLM pipelines, SQL analytics, and the dashboards decisions actually get made with.
I started with metal, not data. I trained as a mechanical engineer at UC Riverside and co-founded Saru, a solar-powered smart recycling unit I designed from CAD to a deployed prototype: a first-place pitch, $10K+ in prototype funding, then Techstars and LaunchPad.
Somewhere between the BOMs and the build reports, I noticed the part I loved wasn't the hardware. It was knowing whether the thing was working.
At the Naval Surface Warfare Center, I learned what data is for: decisions. I owned the production and acquisition metrics Navy leadership used to evaluate shipbuilders, built the Tableau dashboards behind them, and automated the reporting until 95% of the manual work was gone. I also built a parser that turned unstructured CPARS contractor-performance PDFs into an operational dashboard acquisition leadership used weekly.
I delivered the Program Management Review dashboards leadership uses to assess shipbuilding program status, managing mid-cycle scope changes across three concurrent deliverables.

At Messari I work on Monitoring, the flagship real-time event intelligence product, serving enterprise clients like Coinbase, Anchorage Digital, and major institutional asset managers. I run both sides of it: AI-driven development that ships code into the product codebase itself, and the product design that decides, from the data, what to build, in what order, and what to cut.
The work is live coverage across 500+ crypto assets: onchain exploits, smart-contract vulnerabilities, protocol emergencies, and governance outcomes, validated and published as structured institutional alerts in near real time.
Then I started replacing my own job with software. I built a production agentic AI pipeline (Claude + MCP) that classifies live events and drafts our published alerts, and the SQL analytics and QA that keep coverage honest.
- ~500alerts drafted per week
- 90%published with no edits
- 55→95%event-grouping accuracy
In June 2026, Blockworks acquired Messari, a deal built around Monitoring.
