Summary
Scott Conner is a seasoned engineering leader and protocol engineer based in Austin with a track record of shipping high-scale, production-critical systems across crypto, cloud, advertising, logistics, and voice ML. He has led cross-functional teams at Protocol Labs, Eigen Labs, and Amazon to deliver distributed systems, staking/re-staking protocols, and supply-chain/transportation platforms that operate on petabytes and billions in value. As founder of Locksmith Wallet and Protocol at Etherealize, he blends hands-on Solidity development, formal audits, and product-first design—shipping fully tested smart-contract wallets and gas-optimized re-staking upgrades. Scott is equally comfortable managing people, roadmaps, and compliance in regulated environments (SOx, GDPR) while still writing deep technical code—he estimates over a million lines written and twice as many lessons learned. Not obvious from titles: he has repeatedly accelerated protocol upgrade cycles and developer integration times (months to hours) by building tooling and middleware that democratize complex on-chain operations. His mix of enterprise, startup, and research-to-mainnet experience makes him a pragmatic bridge between product, security, and low-level protocol engineering.
