David Vogel

Hi, I'm David Vogel.


I help founders and engineering teams build AI systems that work reliably in production—not just impressive demos.


My approach is grounded in Interpreted Context Methodology (ICM), the folder-structure approach to agentic workflows pioneered by Jake Van Cleef. Instead of relying on opaque orchestration frameworks, I use simple, inspectable systems that engineers can understand, maintain, and scale.


Most of my work is practical: simplifying architectures, improving context management, tightening feedback loops, and creating systems that remain legible as they grow.


I also lead a curated community of experienced AI practitioners focused on production-grade agent systems and operational excellence.


If you're building AI products and want pragmatic guidance on architecture, agent workflows, or shipping systems that last, I'd be glad to help.
