Hello, I’m

Isaac Urman

Product Engineer

I take products from idea to production: the app, the systems behind it, and the infrastructure it runs on. Software that actually ships.

About Me

I'm a product engineer and team lead. Right now I lead a worldwide team of 15+ engineers building an enterprise CRM platform used by 1,000+ people. I own product decisions alongside the architecture and still write a lot of its code. That includes Workstream, our in-house alternative to Linear, and an MCP server that lets agents work with the same tasks and permissions as the team. I also contribute to InfraAgent, our public infrastructure monitoring product, and help shape the company's SEO and discoverability. Before that: Salesforce consulting across 6+ client organizations, a systems co-op at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and a B.S. in Computer Science (Data Science minor) from Wentworth Institute of Technology.

Along the way I've automated billing systems, migrated company data between platforms, built real-time scheduling tools, and shipped AI-powered products. I like the unglamorous middle of software (data migrations, invoicing edge cases, deploy pipelines) because that's usually where products live or die.

I founded IYU Labs, my software product studio and consulting LLC, in October 2025. I build its products and work with businesses on product development and website rebuilds. ResuPals is a resume builder I launched with accounts, subscription billing, and AI job tailoring. I handle its architecture, its Stripe integration, its compliance, and its support. I also run a production-grade homelab and a game server hosting business I founded in 2018: real customers, real monitoring, real 3 a.m. alerts. Operating my own infrastructure and my own billing has shaped how I build and deploy software everywhere else.
