## Overview

I'm a software developer from Denmark and I work as an Operations Engineer. My
main interests are backend development, DevOps, DevSecOps, IT security,
open-source, server administration and Linux.

Further, I'm an advocate for online privacy, I'm against attention economy and
surveillance capitalism, I'm a big supporter of the Free Software movement, I'm
a digital minimalist, and I'm a member of [data.coop](https://data.coop) (I'm
also one of the system administrators). Also, you won't find me on
[Facebook](https://fsf.org/fb) or any other Big Tech social media platform
(except for [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-a-dev/), but that's not
really a social media platform).
