Dave Logan

I lead the Systems Engineering team for Enterprise Acquisition at VAST Data, where we help enterprises build the data infrastructure behind modern AI. The best part of the job is coaching Systems Engineers through a moment when the ground is moving; AI Operating Systems, agentic workflows, and long-context inference are changing what "enterprise infrastructure" means, and the SEs who figure it out first will define the next decade of the field.

Outside the day job, I build AI tools in public. Strategic account plans used to cost thousands and take weeks; I built one that costs about seven dollars and takes a few minutes, and my team now uses it in the field. I write about that work, and about the craft of doing enterprise work in the AI era, here at aiwithdave.com.

Thirty years in tech, four continents, two boys (one teen, one tween), one wife who just wrapped her first movie. I show up best when the problem is technical, the stakes are real, and the path is not obvious.
