A lab for
what comes next.
Quincy Labs is an AI infrastructure lab building the primitives that autonomous agents need to operate: compute, memory, inference, and decentralized coordination.

Infrastructure is
the starting point.
Our team brings together enterprise systems, blockchain engineering, AI research, and creative practice. We turn questions about autonomous systems into tools that can be built, tested, and used.
Dez Calimese is Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Quincy Labs, where he leads blockchain and AI agent research and development. He has founding engineering experience at Omo Protocol, architecting ERC4626 standardized vaults and developing AI agent plugins for DeFi automation and previously was the Lead Frontend Developer at Bricks Exchange, where he led a four-person development team through frontend application development. With advanced certifications from ConsenSys Academy, Encode Club, and Secureum in smart contract development and security, Dez specializes in Solidity, cross-chain infrastructure, and AI-crypto integrations, having built decentralized applications ranging from multi-signature wallets to staking protocols while contributing to the advancement of autonomous financial systems and blockchain interoperability. Beyond development, he also brings 10 years of experience as a music producer, bridging creative and technical disciplines in his approach to innovation.
