Speaker Spotlight: Leo Peters – Stop Building Features. Build the Factory That Builds Them.

We’re excited to announce Leo Peters as a co-speaker (with Benedikt Stemmildt) at Agentic Conf Hamburg on March 22nd!

About Leo

Leo Peters is a Senior Software Developer at Tegtmeier Inkubator GmbH, working across Python development, ML engineering, and computer vision. He studied Software Engineering at HAW Hamburg and has devoted most of his career to understanding computers — starting as a teenager fixing anything with a plug or a battery.

The Talk: Stop Building Features. Build the Factory That Builds Them.

You’ve got your CLAUDE.md, your subagents, your custom skills. And it works. But every feature still starts with you: kicking off the agent, steering it, reviewing, course-correcting. You’ve optimized the tool. You haven’t automated the process.

The real shift is indirection. Instead of using an agent to build a feature, build a production line that builds features for you. Scripts, validation steps, orchestration — from ticket to pull request with minimal intervention. And don’t stop at code. The factory writes tests, generates documentation, handles requirements engineering. Run it in production and let agents react to monitoring data, user feedback, and KPIs. The factory is never done. It grows.

Two hard truths: you can’t copy someone else’s factory, because it’s deeply coupled to your codebase and conventions. And when a new model drops, you rebuild it. That’s the new developer skill: not maintaining one perfect system, but rapidly creating factories for any situation.

No slides. In this talk, Leo will open a real factory from a real client project and walk through how it’s built, how it runs, and why this is the path from AI-assisted to genuinely autonomous.
