I'm currently a student, getting a masters degree in Information Security. I have been a member of the Open Labs Hackerspace for the last two years where I have helped with organizing different events about open source software projects. I'm one of the co-organizers of Open Source Conference Albania, one of the biggest conferences in our region dedicated to open source software. I have been leading the Nextcloud project in the hackerspace for the last months and I have contributed mostly by advocating it. I am very passionate about the topics of privacy, espionage, massive surveillance etc. Also a bit new to public speaking but getting better with time :)
