About Isaac

I’m a software engineer based in New York. I’ve been writing production code for 15 years — hospitals, government agencies, financial platforms, and AI research.

Since May 2024, I’ve been a founder. I run grid[lab], a refurbished-electronics store, and IkeWebStudio, a web agency that builds custom stores and sites for small businesses. I built the entire back-office system myself — inventory, content pipeline, marketing ops, client delivery. It’s a full business, not a side project.

Before that, I was a senior engineer at a top AI research company working on agentic AI evaluation. Before that, healthcare staffing, clinical data networks, computer vision, and government systems.

I’m open to freelance and fractional backend + automation work. Reach me at contact@isaacbell.io.
