## Overview
My name is Sam Al-Sapti. I'm a 6th semester Software Development B.Sc.
student at the IT-University of Copenhagen. My main interests are
backend development, DevOps, DevSecOps, IT security, open-source and
Linux.
Furthermore, 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 social media platform
(except for [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-a-dev/), but
that's not really a social media platform).
