Hi, I'm Steve Flanagan

I love to build things and meet other people building things.

I am currently building a permissionless options trading protocol at Panoptic.

In the past, I:

• Built ETH staking infrastructure, APIs, and apps at Figment.
• Built a permissioned liquid staking token, Alluvial.
• Built crypto payment rails and onchain investment vehicles at AngelList.
• Built the first smart contract bounties & accompanying oracles for for-profit DAOs at Bountium.
• Built blockchain projects for freelance clients, including:
  • a self-sovereign EMR system running on Ethereum.
  • a permissioned Ethereum fork tying point-of-sale data to factoring loans.
  • a social media platform centred on fractionalised NFT ownership.
  • a NFT-receipt system using file encryption for permissioned viewing.
• Pushed blockchain research & adoption forward by founding Northeastern's Blockchain Club.
• Pushed geolocation forward at MITRE.

I also invest. I particularly love investing in products I use, which is mostly fintech & dev tooling.

If you are in Boston let's meet!
