// 01 / Speaker
Santosh Kumar Radha is Co-founder and CTO of AgentField, where he builds open-source infrastructure for autonomous software, including CodeAF, an open-source coding harness built for open models. His work focuses on making AI systems that build software consistent, reliable and cost-efficient at scale, on models and tools that teams own.
Previously, he led product and engineering at Agnostiq, where he built Covalent, an open-source AI infrastructure platform for workflow orchestration that played a central role in Agnostiq’s acquisition by DataRobot. Santosh holds a PhD in theoretical physics and has published research on reasoning models and agentic AI systems.
// 02 / About this session
Coding agents changed how individuals write code. Most teams still use them one session at a time: a task per chat, a few terminals open, and an engineer moving between them to prompt, wait, review and approve. Output scales with how many agents one person can keep track of.
Software factories get past that limit. Agents work continuously and in parallel, and people step in at a few points placed by design. A factory is an architecture, and every architecture is a set of trade-offs across quality, cost, speed and risk. In this workshop you’ll learn how software factories work from the inside and how to design one around what your team values, so it ships whole features and systems, not just pull requests.
