## Introduction
I am Aron (pronouns: he/him), a 2022 graduate of the bachelor's program of Cognitive Science in Osnabrück.
During my very open and broad studies, I focused mostly on Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning, and Philosophy.
The mix of these topics you will find scattered throughout my [Portfolio](/portfolio/).
Currently, I am enrolled in the Master's program [Design and Computation](https://www.newpractice.net) @ UdK and TU Berlin.
I’m Aron (pronouns: he/him), a 2022 graduate of the Bachelor's program in Cognitive Science at Osnabrück.
During my broad and interdisciplinary studies, I focused mainly on Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning, and Philosophy.
You’ll find reflections of this blend scattered throughout my [Portfolio](/project/).
I am enthusiastic about many of the topics included there and have developed a fondness for algorithmic problems, techno-philosophical considerations, and issues of our (future) society.
Currently, I’m finishing my Master's degree in [Design and Computation](https://www.newpractice.net) at UdK and TU Berlin — you can read about my [thesis here](/project/master-thesis).
For the studies, I moved to Berlin and now live together with 2 awesome humans and a 3D-Printer, and am continuously repairing and restoring a very old van.
I’m passionate about many of the fields I’ve explored, with a particular fondness for algorithmic challenges, techno-philosophical questions, and the societal issues shaping our (and future) world.
I dream of one day having my own bar with cultural events and am already working on the perfect recipe for [homebrew](/homebrew/) beer.
I love experimenting, whether that is in the kitchen, finding a solution to a coding problem, or creating useful objects.
For my studies, I moved to Berlin, where I now share life with some awesome humans and a 3D printer — plus I’m continuously repairing and restoring a very old van.
I am also passionate about [3D Printing](/printing/), its curious applications, and all areas tangent to it.
The interface of technology and the world interests me and coming up with ways for one sphere to interact with the other has now captured me for some years.
I dream of one day running my own bar with cultural events and am already working on the perfect recipe for [homebrew](/project/homebrew/) beer. Experimenting is my thing — whether it’s cooking, coding, or crafting useful objects.
I recognize a colossal environmental problem that the current and following generations face: global waste being just one tiny aspect.
At the same time, I am frustrated that I have to pay for the plastic that goes into my printer while I throw the packaging of my food away, which is the exact same material.
Even more frustrating are the established norms for recycling that lead to virtually none of the products that I can produce with the printer at home being recyclable.
[Plastic waste](/plastic-recycling/) is no joke and I consider it my personal contribution to try to help advance small-scale, decentralized recycling.
I am currently searching for an appropriate place to further my knowledge to automatize the recycling of my own very large collection of failed prints.
3D printing fascinates me deeply. I love exploring its curious applications and the broader technological landscape it touches. The intersection of technology and everyday life captivates me, and I’m always brainstorming new ways for these spheres to interact.
In the past, digitality and the social-digital as a topic has been a recurring theme, I am concerned with [digital inclusion](/chatbot/) and also play around a lot with [edge computing](/airaspi-build-log/).
One of the biggest challenges I see for current and future generations is our environmental crisis — with global waste just one part of it.
I’m frustrated by the disconnect: I pay for plastic filament for my printer, yet throw away identical packaging from my food. Worse, recycling systems rarely accept the products I create at home.
[Plastic waste](/project/plastic-recycling/) is a serious problem, and I’m committed to advancing small-scale, decentralized recycling efforts.
Right now, I’m looking for opportunities to deepen my knowledge and automate recycling of my large collection of failed prints.

Digitality and social-digital topics have also been recurring themes in my work.
I care deeply about [digital inclusion](/project/chatbot/) and have fun experimenting with [edge computing](/project/airaspi-build-log/).
In addition to my technical and research interests, I’m dedicated to media didactics — exploring how digital tools and making practices can enrich education.
I believe hands-on creation, tinkering, and technology empower learners to engage critically with the digital world.
Through workshops and educational projects, I work to integrate making and computational thinking into learning environments, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and digital literacy.
I get to live all of this out in my current place of work, the [studio einszwovier](https://www.gvb-berlin.de/unterricht-plus/arbeitsgemeinschaften/maker-space-studio-einszwovier/) in the GVB Berlin.
Come visit if you wanna have a chat about critical making in education!
