About

Hi, I'm Greg! I enjoy playing basketball, programming, spending time with friends, and listening to music. I am committed to helping others and to enabling others in my community to pursue their passions through the programs that I am involved with.

I am currently a full-time student at the University of Maryland, College Park where I am pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science. This website serves as a portfolio of my projects, activities, and achievements that I am most proud of. Thanks for stopping by!
