Selected work

Depth over breadth. Two builds I’ll defend in full, then the supporting work. Where something isn’t shipped, it says so.

Flagship builds

Ambito · Maven AI PM capstone · 2026

A memory layer for the org — and for its agents.

A permission-aware context layer that turns an organization’s communications into structured, persistent memory — served to both the people and the agents doing the work.

  • Postgres
  • pgvector
  • FastAPI
  • FastMCP
  • Claude API
Agentic build system · OneLook orchestrator · 2026

I stopped being the router between my own AI tools.

A custom TypeScript MCP orchestrator that runs a self-closing build loop — agents hand off through a shared file with no human in the routing seat.

  • TypeScript
  • Claude Agent SDK
  • MCP
  • cursor-agent CLI
  • Node
  • GitHub Actions

Supporting work

StudyAgent / StudyBuddy

A Slack-only AI tutor that runs spaced repetition on what you’re learning — SM-2 mastery tracking, no separate app to open. I built it as a multi-agent workflow before it was a tutor.

  • Node
  • Slack Bolt
  • Anthropic SDK
  • BullMQ/Redis
  • MCP
  • Railway

Deployed and in daily use — by me. Single-user, no public URL, no metrics.

career-ops

An AI job-application pipeline: source → score → draft ⇄ adversarial-verify → digest, with the submit decision kept human. A self-built artifact of exactly the multi-agent PM work the thesis sells.

  • Node
  • Claude Code subagents
  • deterministic CI

(Full architecture lives inside the agentic-build-system case study.)

Bootcampr (formerly Collabify)

A platform that paired bootcamp grads into cross-functional teams to ship real apps from PRDs over one-week sprints. Three and a half years, four iterations, the Antler accelerator — closed publicly with accountability when the unit economics didn’t converge.

  • React/TS
  • MERN
  • webhooks
  • Google Calendar API

Real outcome: several team members landed their first industry roles using the work as direct experience.

Also

  • NextStepA cross-platform Expo/React Native daily-dashboard app: real Google OAuth, EAS builds, third-party API integration across two SDK iterations. Not shipped, no users, and no AI — it predates the AI-native work. Here as mobile breadth, not a flagship.
  • Old bootcamp projects (2021–22)Archive only. The old erickmanrique.com is my first portfolio; it’s stale and this rebuild replaces it. Not linked.
