Hamish Lamotte

Senior Data Scientist @Elliptic

Blockchain analytics platform (Tech Lead)- proposed, architected and implemented a horizontally-scalable blockchain-agnostic analytics platform enriching blockchain data with proprietary off-chain data. Managed a team of two Data Engineers and one other Data Scientist. On-chain known entity interaction dataset (Tech Lead)- built a horizontally scalable, time-resolved, blockchain-agnostic dataset of multi-hop on-chain fund flows between all known entities. Developed from proof-of-concept to productionized pipelines. Solution was loaded into a white-labelled BI tool and sold to significant banks and regulators. On-chain entity activity detection (Tech Lead)- developed a novel approach to label chains of consecutive entity activity, such as withdrawals from exchanges, across an entire blockchain using the graph analytics algorithms. On-chain data acquisition - coordinated acquiring additional on-chain metadata directly from nodes and from third-parties for multiple chains. Product-driven data science - championed a product-driven approach to data science, unshackling the existing data science team from existing organisational and product constraints.
