Independent engineering & researchLagos, Nigeria + Working everywhere

quilllabs.

Curiosity, engineered.

Some things don’t exist.
Until someone builds them.

Protocols, intelligent systems, and useful experiments.
From the first question to the last line of code.

The space between an idea and a working thing.

An independent lab for
things worth building.

Quill Labs is led by Afeez Shaibu. We research, build, and ship at the intersection of crypto, AI, and the tools that make both useful. Small by design. Hands-on from beginning to end.

Good questions.
Real things.

Products, open-source work, and research.
A collection with room to explore.

Big questions.
Direct collaboration.

The same hands that do the research
take on the client work.
Clear scope. Published starting ranges.

Get the question right.

Thirty minutes to work out whether this is worth doing. If it is, you get a written scope with a fixed price and a date, before any money moves.

Build in the open.

Work lands in reviewable pieces against the dates in the scope. You see commits, not status updates. Anything that slips, you hear about when it slips, not at the end.

Leave something solid.

Tests, documentation and a deploy that someone else on your team can run. The measure of the engagement is whether it keeps working after the invoice is paid.

A conversation is a good beginning.Lagos, Nigeria · Worldwide
