## 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 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.
|
|
|
|
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 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.
|
|
|
|
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 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.
|
|
|
|
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/).
