Isaac Perez

Hey, I'm Isaac.

I'm an iOS engineer and founder based in Los Angeles. I build products that connect people to their local communities — whether that's finding a street vendor around the corner or a pickup basketball game across town.

Outside of code, I run CapturedByIP — a photography and video brand focused on drone, real estate, and lifestyle media. I'm interested in the intersection of technology, media, and the real world.

I believe in building things that are useful, shipping fast, and learning from the people who use what you make.
