My name's Greyson, and I'm an aspiring developer and writer. All things considered, I'm a simple person: I like games, I like learning, and I try to live looking forward.
In college, I studied computer science and philosophy, disciplines which have honed my interest in decision-making processes, algorithms, and computability. They also helped rekindle my love for rhetoric and writing.
As things stand, my main goals are to pick up momentum, get out of my hometown, and find work that's meaningful to me. In the meantime, I'm working on my fundamentals with the end goal of becoming a strong software engineer, a capable communicator, and a decent person in general. I crave opportunities to practice and to create—if you're interested, don't hesitate to drop me a line.
my favorite type of machine learning
cracking open black boxes - SHAP, mechanistic interpretability
making agents feel comfortable and safe
AI should be used right if you're gonna use it at all
educational tools that ride progress, not resist it
cleaning, inference, and presentation
encoding the magic of language
absolute limits, complexity, and the nature of computation
exploring art & storytelling
what makes a strong, legible argument?
ontology of games, the value of play, and rulesets
what can and should be measured
the ethics, law, and future of IP
I love playing games in all areas of life
augmenting other people's creative visions
what feels right as a player
someday, I want to develop my own games

Helped as a teaching assistant for Furman's CSC 223 DS&A course. Held office hours, attended labs, and troubleshot students' IDE and version control issues.
Served on the fraternity's executive board as the head of philanthropy and service. Organized fundraisers and service events, including two 5ks that raised over $6000 for the Travelers Rest Police & Fire Foundation.
Built an educational agent tailored to Furman students, with accompanying website and UI. Also researched the feasability of locally hosted LLMs for a small-scale education bot.
Organized tutoring sessions and academic resources for members of the fraternity. During my tenure, the chapter's average GPA increased by 0.4 points.
Cut meats, made subs, diligently served customers. Idk what you want me to say.
Graduated from Carolina Day School.
I’m not very attached to the past. That mentality has its pros and cons, but in effect, it's made me comfortable with abandoning bad work, rebounding from failure, and tolerating change.
When it comes to a project, discipline, or skill, everything springs from fundamentals: basic techniques or mental models that undergird the task at hand. As such, I try to refine and strengthen my fundamentals whenever I can, even if it means revisiting the most trivial ideas.
I think one of the worst things in the world is taking without giving back. It feels abjectly horrible and is one of the biggest negative drivers for what I try to do with my life.
A shortcut is useful insofar as it’s good, by which I mean it cuts through bad stuff without losing good stuff. I love using shortcuts, which is why it’s necessary that I only take on good ones.
