Break - Open QnA

10:30 AM - 11:00 AM

How to Setup Advanced Cursor Rules and Background Agents


Configure powerful Cursor rules and always-on background agents, callable from Slack and Linear. Build a reusable workflow that writes code, opens a PR, and moves tickets automatically. No manual pro...

10:20 AM - 10:50 AM

Testing AI-Generated Code


Use MCP servers so agents autonomously run tests from product requirements. Learn to create custom commands with Playwright and other MCP tools to expand coverage. Adopt pro-grade QA patterns and tun...

10:50 AM - 11:15 AM

Securing AI-Generated Code: Guardrails, Reviews & AI-Safe Workflows


Bake security controls into code generation from the start. Run automated security checks via MCP and advanced workflows. Avoid pitfalls - auth gaps, unsafe inputs, and data exposure by adding simple...

11:15 AM - 11:30 AM

Custom Modes in Cursor: When and How to use them


Learn how to create custom modes in Cursor and why they matter. Understand what makes them powerful, and how they differ from regular rules or workflows. Discover when custom modes beat standard rule...

Aki Wijesundara, PhD

AI & ML Lead | Ex-Google Ambassador

Leading AI advisor to multiple startups, Ph.D. in ML and ex‑Google AI Accelerator lead, Akshika pairs cutting‑edge LLM know‑how with a builder’s mindset—turning ideas into AI‑first products at speed.
That expertise now powers his rapid‑build AI software program.


Shrey Shah

Cursor Ambassador

A Cursor Ambassador and AI agents developer who builds cutting-edge systems with advanced frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, multi-agent workflows. His expertise spans the full generative-AI pipeline—fine-tuning models with Hugging Face and MLflow, crafting precise prompts, and deploying solutions through FastAPI and Langgraph. Equally skilled at integrating automation, he leverages AG-UI to deliver intuitive user interfaces. Grounded in a strong testing-and-development background, he designs complex yet scalable AI workflows, relentlessly refining and optimizing each project to push the boundaries of modern AI software development.


Why Attend?

Modern development has shifted - with Cursor, the AI-first IDE, you can transform the way you code and become a 10x developer. Instead of spending weeks on setup and iteration, you’ll learn how to go from idea to deployment in just hours.

This hands-on workshop will show you how to use 'vibe coding' techniques to move beyond quick prototypes and start building production grade apps. You’ll see how to spin up interfaces with Lovable, and then take those foundations to the next level with Cursor by integrating databases and intelligence, testing and securing your AI-generated code, and even creating custom Cursor modes for repeatable workflows.

You'll learn advanced prompting and AI pair programming techniques methods to convert vague ideas into robust, maintainable code, thus elevating your output from basic prototypes to production-grade solutions.

By the end, you’ll know how to leverage Cursor not just as an editor, but as a force multiplier. You will learn how to build in technology stacks you've never used before, implement professional AI-assisted workflows, and deliver production applications that would have taken months to learn and build traditionally.


What You'll Get

Certificate of Completion to showcase your expertise
🎥 Full workshop recording with 120-day access
🔄 Follow-up Q&A session (live, 1–2 weeks later)
Hands-on full-stack build + deployment flow
🛡️ Practical testing & security playbook for AI-powered apps
🧰 Custom Cursor modes to supercharge your workflows
👥 Networking with peers and experts in AI-driven development


What will I be able to do after this workshop?

After completing this workshop, you’ll be able to:

  • Build and deploy production grade full-stack apps with Cursor, Supabase, and OpenAI.
  • Use Lovable to kickstart UIs and continue building inside Cursor.
  • Apply vibe coding techniques to accelerate development without sacrificing quality.
  • Test and secure AI-generated code directly inside Cursor and understand where MCP fits
  • Create custom Cursor modes to streamline repeatable workflows and boost productivity.
  • Confidently ship apps faster and more reliably - the mindset shift that helps you truly become a 10x developer.


Who Should Attend?

This workshop is designed for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve in modern app development:

  • Developers & Engineers who are already comfortable with traditional coding but seek to master AI-assisted development to boost productivity.
  • Tech Leads & PMs who either manage a team of developers or work closely with them, and are curious about integrating AI-first coding practices into their teams.
  • Early-career professionals who want to stand out from their peers and stay ahead of the curve with portfolio-ready skills in AI-powered development.
  • Startup founders & builders in fast-paced environments where productivity gains directly impact deadlines and innovation.

Highly recommended if you are:

✅ A developer in search of battle-tested strategies to integrate AI seamlessly into their daily coding routines

✅ Aspring to become a more productive developer/ engineer and grow into to a leadership role

✅ Looking to not just build apps quickly, but to build them in a clean, secure and reliable way


Reserve your spot now and transform how you build, secure and deploy AI-driven apps with Cursor!
