Context Engineering
from On The Radar · host Tikal Knowledge
Most developers think of “context” as documentation or vector search. But in real AI systems, context is a dynamic, cross-cutting concern that spans the full SDLC. In this episode, Nir Kaufman, Tech Lead at Tikal, is joined by Nir Alfasi, Backend Tech Lead at Tikal, and Matan Grady, Director of Product at Port.io. Together, they unpack what Context Engineering actually looks like in production: from tribal knowledge and markdown chaos, to memory design, tool orchestration, and human decision making.
