Yaakov Turetsky

Independent developer

I build things that work.

I'm an independent software developer in Chicago. I build AI agents and automation that do real work — taking ideas from nothing to live, usually on my own.

From a 24/7 messaging concierge on GCP to inventory you run by voice, I care about software that ships and keeps running.

01

Selected work

AI agents, automation, and tools I designed and built — most of them running in production today.

Built for the community

Apps for Jewish life, nonprofit tools, and client work — software with a specific audience and a reason to exist.

About

I work independently out of Chicago. Most of what I build, I build alone — from the first sketch through deployment and the fixes that come after something is actually live.

My focus is AI agents and automation that do real work: reading messages, managing inventory, driving a browser, coordinating parallel tasks. I like taking an idea that doesn't exist yet and getting it into people's hands, not prototyping forever.

Alongside that, I build software for communities I belong to — prayer apps, zmanim tools, synagogue portals, donation systems. Different audiences, same standard: it should work, it should be maintainable, and it should respect the people using it.

If you're looking for someone who can own a project end to end — design, build, ship, and keep it running — I'd like to hear from you.
