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.
Discovery
A comprehensive deep-dive into your current AI infrastructure, memory architecture, and context workflows. We will map out your system-wide requirements, identify bottlenecks, and conclude with a formal quotation and implementation roadmap. Best for teams ready to build production-grade AI.
Hands On Training
30 min meeting
A focused, tactical consultation on a specific AI memory or context challenge. Ideal if you are stuck on a specific implementation detail, need a second opinion on your folder-based context structure, or want to troubleshoot a failing workflow. We won't map out your whole system, but we will solve the specific problem you bring to the table.
15 min meeting
A low-risk, high-signal entry point. We will spend 15 minutes reviewing your current AI context or memory setup to identify immediate bottlenecks.
How it works: If we identify a critical issue that requires a deeper architectural fix, you can apply the cost of this 15-minute call directly toward a Full Discovery session. Ideal for founders who want a quick sanity check before committing to a larger engagement."
