Moving beyond pas sive assistance requires orchestrating specialized\, collaborative agent r oles—such as Architects\, Coders\, Reviewers\, and QA Testers—that dec ompose complex technical requirements into verifiable\, deterministic unit s of work. This talk provides a comprehensive architectural guide to desig ning\, orchestrating\, and governing autonomous multi-agent pipelines acro ss the SDLC. We examine communication topologies\, state management\, shar ed context protocols (MCP)\, and verification harnesses that prevent error propagation. Drawing on practical patterns from high-reliability enterpri se systems\, full-stack microservices\, and mobile platforms\, we demonstr ate how to build multi-agent systems that autonomously design\, implement\ , test\, and safely deploy software while keeping human engineers in the l oop for high-leverage architectural decisions.\n\nBio: Mahesh Reddy Konath am is a Senior Software Engineer at PayPal\, specializing in building scal able full-stack applications\, robust distributed systems\, and modern mob ile solutions. He holds a Master of Science in Software Engineering from S an Jose State University and a Bachelor of Technology from NIT Trichy. Wit h broad experience spanning fintech\, developer platforms\, and enterprise utilities\, Mahesh has spent the past few years deep in the Credit and Bu y Now\, Pay Later (BNPL) domain at PayPal\, architecting resilient backend services\, high-throughput microservices\, and customer-facing interfaces . His technical expertise spans distributed backend architectures\, Androi d application development\, React-based frontends\, and cloud infrastructu re. Mahesh has led key engineering initiatives in automated visual testing \, performance optimization\, and developer productivity across large-scal e systems. Mahesh is deeply passionate about Generative AI\, Agentic SDLC\ , Loop Engineering\, and Model Context Protocols (MCPs). His current focus centers on architecting self-correcting agentic workflows\, structured co ntext protocols\, and intelligent verification loops that empower engineer ing teams to deliver robust\, enterprise-grade software with speed and rel iability.\n\nSpeaker(s): Mahesh Reddy Konatham\n\nVirtual: https://events. vtools.ieee.org/m/573287 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/573287 ORGANIZER:ruben.glatt@ieee.org SEQUENCE:14 SUMMARY:Tech Talk: Beyond Copilots (Multi-Agent SDLC) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/573287 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the IEEE Computer Society invites to our free and open Virtual Tech Talks (no IEEE membership required):</p>\n<p><strong>Speaker:</strong><strong>&nbsp\ ;</strong>Mahesh Reddy Konatham&nbsp\;&nbsp\;(<u><a href="https://www.goog le.com/url?q=https://www.linkedin.com/in/maheshrkonatham/&amp\;sa=D&amp\;s ource=calendar&amp\;ust=1787541141829510&amp\;usg=AOvVaw3QwgT7-ZIIXv3T8HnI CKHQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Connect on LinkedIn</a></u>)</p>\n<p> <strong>Title:&nbsp\;</strong>Beyond Copilots (Multi-Agent SDLC)</p>\n<p>< strong>Abstract:</strong>&nbsp\;While first-generation AI developer tools focused on inline code completions (Copilots)\, modern engineering demands autonomous multi-agent systems capable of executing end-to-end software d evelopment lifecycle (SDLC) workflows.
