How to implement Cursor Agent CLI into GitLab for code review
Step-by-step guide to automated AI-powered code review in GitLab CI using Cursor Agent CLI: setup, prompt design, GitLab API, and troubleshooting.
Helping founders and enterprises turn chaotic codebases into high-performance delivery engines.
As a Staff Engineer & Engineering Manager, I specialize in scaling engineering culture and establishing delivery pipelines from the ground up. My approach combines architectural rigor with AI-driven workflows that accelerate development while maintaining quality. The result: teams that ship consistently and systems that scale reliably.

I am a Staff Engineer & Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience building software and 4+ years dedicated to technical leadership and team development.
My journey evolved from writing code to architecting systems and building teams that deliver consistently. At EBS Integrator, I established the Front-end department's engineering culture by introducing Feature-Sliced Design and Monorepo architectures. This strategic foundation reduced infrastructure costs significantly and cut API integration bugs by 90% through automated tooling.
Currently, as a Staff Engineer for a complex microservices ecosystem, I drive technical direction, specifications, and delivery. I've established a team-wide AI framework with standardized practices and integrated AI code reviews into our CI/CD pipelines to maintain quality at speed.
Moving beyond just code—connecting technical proficiency with measurable business results.
"Scaled Front-end team from 1 to 10 engineers while improving retention by 50%."
Managing cross-functional teams (15+ engineers) through transparent career leveling, regular 1:1s, and capacity forecasting.
"Reduced infrastructure costs by 5x and API integration bugs by 90%."
Designing modular, feature-sliced architectures and implementing automated API generators to ensure code consistency.
"Reduced development effort by 50% via custom design systems."
Building high-performance applications for Fintech and GovTech. Created boilerplate SaaS templates to accelerate project kickoffs.
"Delivered 15+ complex projects across SaaS and Fintech sectors."
Aligning technical execution with business strategy. Oversaw client demos, budget planning, and internal product launches.
These principles guide how I build teams, architect systems, and make technical decisions. They're not dogma—they're frameworks for navigating complexity.
AI copilots amplify human judgment, not replace it. The best engineering teams use AI to handle repetitive tasks while humans focus on architecture, strategy, and understanding the "why" behind the code.
The most maintainable systems use well-understood patterns. Feature-Sliced Design, Monorepos, and TypeScript aren't flashy—they're battle-tested. Innovation happens in the product, not the infrastructure.
Great teams ship because they have great engineers, not because they follow the perfect methodology. Invest in mentorship, clear career paths, and psychological safety. Process should enable, not constrain.
The best technical decision is the one that ships. Perfect architecture that never reaches production is a failure. Balance technical debt with business velocity—but always maintain a path to refactor.
Acting as Staff Engineer for a large-scale project with a microservices architecture, responsible for the Front-end technical direction, specifications, estimations, and final delivery. Created a proprietary AI framework with standardized team rules and implemented automated AI code reviews in CI/CD, significantly accelerating development velocity.
Designed scalable FE architectures (Feature-Sliced, Monorepo), reducing infra costs by 5x. Introduced API generators reducing bugs by 90%. Built boilerplate SaaS templates and design token integration.
Delivered large-scale applications across fintech and government sectors. Utilized TypeScript, React, and SCSS for complex modules. Conducted code reviews and architecture decisions.
Maintained and improved platform dashboard using React, Redux, D3.js, and Webpack. Collaborated with designers on high-quality graphic standards.
Implemented responsive functionality for a website builder. Created markup for design blocks using React, SASS, and Gulp.
