Chicago · building in public

I build things I want to use, then keep improving them.

I make software for the things I keep coming back to: money, tools, unfinished ideas, and the messy work around them.

I like making things that give me a reason to check back tomorrow: a widget, a clearer chart, a workflow that saves a little friction, or a business system that finally feels like it belongs together.

ABOUT

Curious about how things work — and motivated to make them work better.

Isaac Zipperstein

I’m Isaac, a builder with a background in financial planning, business, technology, and hands-on operations. I’m especially interested in the space where a good interface meets a sound underlying system.

That has led me from iOS widgets and web projects to investment research, business automation, homelab infrastructure, and agent workflows. I care about tools that are clear, resilient, and genuinely useful after the novelty wears off.
