About Me

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 (I'm also one of the system administrators). Also, you won't find me on Facebook or any other social media platform (except for LinkedIn, but that's not really a social media platform).

• Programming languages:
