Evan developed data engineering and analytics features for the opensource-observer/oso repository, focusing on automating data documentation, expanding DeFi protocol coverage, and building analytics platforms for blockchain funding. He implemented an LLM-powered data dictionary generator using Python and integrated it with Google BigQuery and MongoDB to streamline dbt model documentation. Evan enhanced the DefiLlama asset factory by adding support for new protocols and delivered scalable analytics for S6 Growth Grants, establishing robust data models and daily reporting pipelines. His work included SQL evaluation improvements, API integrations, and backend development, demonstrating depth in data modeling, ETL, and Python-based data platform engineering.

June 2025 — Key accomplishments across data ingestion, SQL evaluation, and MCP retrieval. Key features delivered: 1) DefiLlama financial data ingestion: added trading volume and LP fees data models, parsing, schema, and seed data; ingestion components updated to store metrics for analytics and reporting. Commits: b4f0edd9182c4514516392b9348c33a14bf5bb67; e8ec8e3576063a4a34c40f5f76ff8126f8cece17; 4ba062c4bd55c89d50e9be5dc8bbdd558780beca. 2) SQL evaluation enhancements: query-type/model-aware evaluation, subsets, and exact and fuzzy evaluators with unit tests to improve text-to-SQL accuracy. Commits: ea9e954c2a0d9fa8892b65ba2535f2d6ce96cfb9; 0df91bbce4ccb32b2ddde0e43a370f9002e9f128; 9623da53bc62e9165fce4bcb921902203fa4aeea. 3) MCP server enhancements: exact search entity context retrieval, text2sql API integration, and vector store fix to improve reliability of contextual retrieval.
