Agentic Software Factory for Engineers & Tech Leads

What you'll learn

Turn an issue into an agent task

Structure a real issue so a background agent can execute it without you.

Run the agent in the background

Delegate the implementation and keep working on something else.

Verify before the pull request

Run tests and quality gates before anything reaches review.

Keep a human delivery gate

Open a verified pull request and leave the merge decision with an engineer.

Why this topic matters

The real test of an agentic system is whether it can take a real issue and hand you a pull request that has already passed your automated checks. In this live demo I run the full workflow end to end: an issue becomes a task, a background agent works in isolation, verification passes, and a pull request opens for human review. It is the same pipeline the cohort builds on your own codebase. Part 4 of 4 in the Software Factory series.

Engineering leader, Agentic AI educator

Hi, I’m Param. I’m an engineer, engineering leader, and educator focused on Agentic AI.

I’ve been building software since 2011, from full-stack products to leading engineering, data science, and SRE teams. I’ve also stayed hands-on with the code throughout.

Today, I build production AI systems using LangGraph, RAG, vector search, evals, and LLM observability.

I also run learnwithparam.com, where I teach my six-week Agentic AI bootcamp.

My teaching comes directly from the systems I build and the teams I’ve worked with. I focus on helping engineers go beyond AI demos and learn how to actually design, build, evaluate, and ship agentic systems.

You can see what I’m building on GitHub and learn more about my work at learnwithparam.com.
