About / Grant Isom
Hi, I'm Grant.
I’m a software engineer in Kansas City, Missouri. I build AI agents at Limelight, run Groundwork AI, and make apps and tools of my own. This is where I share what I’m building and what I’m learning along the way.
Right now
Most of my favorite projects start because I want something to exist, so I try making it. Here’s what has my attention right now.
- WritingThoughts about AI
- BuildingAI agents at Limelight
- UsingHermes Agent + Obsidian
A little background
I taught myself to code at 16 and started a software consultancy while studying at the University of Kansas. At Cerner, I built patient-facing mobile apps and worked with Apple on early HealthKit integrations. I later became Head of Engineering at Illuminate, where our clinical AI helped care teams find missed findings in radiology reports.
At RealWork, I built a mobile platform that reached more than 1,000 customers in its first year, then led the engineering team and development of an AI voice agent for home-service businesses. Today, I’m the Founding AI Engineer at Limelight, building agents that can handle real customer workflows reliably.
Outside the screen
Outside of software, I’m a dad and a tennis player with strong opinions about Kansas City barbecue and coffee.
