Patrick Mccorry is a crypto-focused researcher and builder with 11 years of experience bridging academic security research and practical blockchain product work from London. He holds a PhD in Bitcoin and Security Engineering and has combined that academic depth with hands-on roles as a founder (anydot, acquired by Consensys/Infura), researcher at top universities, and operational positions supporting Arbitrum DAO and Lemniscap’s investment due diligence. Patrick has led protocol- and attack-focused research published across venues and helped product teams ship infrastructure work such as Infura’s Transaction Service. Comfortable toggling between deep cryptographic analysis and startup execution, he is known for spotting subtle protocol risks and translating them into actionable product or investment insights. Colleagues describe him as a practical academic who left the tenure track to build real-world crypto systems.
