All projects-
Counter-Strike-Boost.com
Founder, since 2019
The largest site for Counter-Strike community servers: 10,000+ servers, 10M+ players and 60,000 maps tracked. Runs as containerized services on Kubernetes, with a staging environment, monitoring and off-site backups tested by restores.
Kubernetes (K3s), Docker, MariaDB, Redis, Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry
-
GameQuery.dev
Founder
An API serving live data from 50,000+ game servers for 300+ games, with WordPress and Invision Community integrations. A fleet of VPS workers with failover, run by an updater control written in Go, keeps the data fresh when a node goes down.
Kubernetes (K3s), Docker, Go, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis
-
One server instead of ten
Migration
Moved 30+ services from 8–10 separate VPS to Docker and then to a single K3s server, with zero downtime rolling deployments. Hosting went from EUR 500 to about EUR 100 per month.
K3s, Terraform, Pulumi, GitHub Actions, SOPS, Cloudflare Tunnel

stiripolitica.ro and tutunfiricel.ro
On the same cluster
A news website with a source trust-score system, and a price comparison site for vape and tobacco products.
Kubernetes (K3s), PostgreSQL, Redis
Also built
- Kubernetes web console
- My own web dashboard for the K3s cluster, written in Go.
- This website's CMS
- Node.js and PostgreSQL. Posts and the CV are edited in an admin app and published straight into Kubernetes.
- Self-hosted Git and registry
- Gitea and a private container registry on the cluster, so code and images never leave my own infrastructure.
- YouTube Shorts automation
- A service on the server that designs, renders and uploads short videos every night, with no one watching.
