Aaron is an aspiring computer scientist, entrepreneur, and writer, and somewhat of a multipotentialite, who is interested in how technology & knowledge can help make our and other's lives easier and improve the world around us. He also enjoys writing, reading books, watching movies & TV shows, playing video games, and listening to music, among other activities. He embraces experimentation and more of an organized "throw things at the wall to see what sticks" approach, knowing that through persistence, at least one venture, or perhaps multiple, will succeed, allowing him to build the future that he envisions. He wants to create a meaningful impact; whether that's through innovation, technology, or ambitious, world-changing projects.
Academically, Aaron has always sought out learning environments that push boundaries. He attended a dual-curriculum elementary and middle school, followed by a high school, Pathways Academy of Technology and Design, with a strong focus on both technology and the arts. There, he took courses such as "Fundamentals of Design" (an introduction to various traditional art types), "Video Game Design", "Programming", "Digital Video & Media", "Digital Music", "Graphic Design", "Immersive Game Environments", "Innovation & Invention", "Automation & Robotics", and "AP Computer Science". This early exposure to interdisciplinary learning helped fuel his passion for technology, entrepreneurship, and creativity.
Now, at Muhlenberg College, he is majoring in Computer Science with minors in Innovation & Entrepreneurship (INE) and Studio Art. He is involved in on-campus Student Organizations/"clubs", has started some of his own, and has cultivated a vibrant social and academic life. His coursework has included subjects like "Intro to Game Programming", "Machine Learning", "Software Engineering", "Data Structures & Algorithms", "Web Software Development", "Database Systems", multiple INE classes, multiple art courses, a course about Japan that doubled in Ecology and Religion, and culminated in a two-week trip to Japan. He constantly seeks opportunities to apply what he learns, whether through independent projects or real-world experiences.
Beyond business and technology, he has a profound desire to create meaningful change. He wants to contribute to solving global issues such as hunger and homelessness, while also working toward advancements like radical longevity. He doesn't concern himself with ideological debates or rigid political labels — he simply wants to do what's right. These lyrics of Fly Like an Eagle by Steve Miller Band resonate deeply with him:
"I want to feed the babies
Who can't get enough to eat
I want to shoe the children
New shoes on their feet
I want to house the people
Living in the street
Oh, there, there's a solution..."
