Palmie co-founded Lumetric to build agentic coworkers for analyst-level work. His personal biography describes earlier work on surgical-suite digital twins, payment tokenization at Visa and technology work at Slalom’s innovation lab. He also graduated twice from Georgia Tech. He now works at Factory on systems that support software development.[1]
Contributions
His AI Engineer talk describes a software factory that takes signals such as bug reports and user feedback through review, testing and delivery. The system needs access to project context and development tools, with model choice and deployment under the organization’s control. Palmie recommends starting with a narrow workflow, such as incident triage, before extending autonomy across a larger process.[2]
Ideas
Palmie argues for tracking signal-to-production time, human interventions and cost per pull request rather than token use. Those outcomes connect to readiness practices and incremental rollout: the sequence of work must make the change usable.[2]

A talk on agent readiness, governed software workflows and outcome metrics.
Start with incident triage at 7:16, then the readiness and metrics chapters. Software-review experience helps; no Factory account is needed to watch.
