## About

Todd Greco is an AI Innovation Director at Slalom Consulting in Portland, Oregon.

Two decades of DJing - toured Europe, opened for Moby, taught at Spun Academy -

## AI & Prototyping

Methodology: spec-driven, one-shot AI development. Write a zero-ambiguity PRD in Markdown,
generate a CLAUDE.md execution plan, then ship via Claude Code CLI - often building
full-stack prototypes in a single session.

Stack: Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vuetify (frontend), AWS CDK + Bedrock + S3 Vectors (backend).
Vitest for testing, GitHub Actions for CI.

Community: Co-organizes AI Collective Portland and PDX Hacks. Anthropic Ambassador.
Teaches agentic coding workshops for AWS, Cal CS seniors, and the Portland developer community.
