Tyler Szakacs

Developer, follower of Jesus, dad to Cal, and distance runner out of Philadelphia. I build AI products, agent infrastructure, local MCP servers, and iOS apps, plus web products for small businesses through Szakacs Media.

Szakacs Media is my web, content, and AI company. I work with small businesses in Philadelphia — building their sites, automating their workflows, and shipping tools that actually move the needle.
