Where It All Began (2008–2010)

At just 10 years old, my curiosity about the internet transformed into a quest for understanding how websites worked. Using the “Inspect Element” tool, I began exploring HTML and CSS, diving into how webpages were structured and styled.

  • I was captivated by concepts like IP addresses, ports, and how domain names connected to websites.
  • This early hands-on approach ignited a fascination with web technologies and laid the groundwork for my developer journey.

Gaming Community Ventures (2011–2013)

From 2011 to 2013, I immersed myself in the gaming world, developing websites and managing servers.

  • Created HTML-based Website Intros for gaming platforms and communities, helping others customize their sites on platforms like phpBB, IPB, MyBB, WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.
  • Developed gaming servers using SteamCMD on Linux (Ubuntu) and gained experience in MySQL database management.
  • Delved into MMORPG private servers, crafting and editing websites, in-game shops, and ranking systems that enriched the gaming experience.
  • Gained expertise in server administration tools such as GameCP, Open Game Panel, gsp-panel, and TCAdmin, managing hosting environments efficiently.

Gaming Community Leadership (2014–2017)

In 2014, I co-founded a gaming community that grew to over 10,000 active members and ranked #1 on Google for several years.

  • Focused on SEO strategies, optimizing titles, tags, and site structures to enhance online visibility.
  • Expanded my server management skills with Pterodactyl, handling multi-region dedicated servers.
  • Delivered a variety of services, including:
    • Hosting game servers.
    • Managing voice servers (e.g., TeamSpeak, Discord).
    • Providing web hosting and Linux system administration.
    • Ensuring security, uptime, and performance across all platforms.

This period helped me master community management and reinforced the importance of delivering reliable solutions.


Transition to Web Hosting & Programming (2017)

In 2017, I shifted my focus to web hosting and software development, launching my own hosting platform and expanding my technical expertise.

  • Built and managed a portfolio of over 40 domains for 50+ clients, including news sites, forums, and e-commerce stores.
  • Worked with leading hosting providers such as OVH, Vultr, Bluehost, Namecheap, and SiteGround.
  • Gained proficiency in hosting tools and platforms:
    • WHMCS for client management.
    • Virtualizor and VMware for virtualization.
    • Control panels like cPanel, HestiaCP, VestaCP, Ajenti, and Froxlor.
  • Specialized in:
    • Website speed optimization using NGINX and caching tools.
    • Firewall management and DDoS protection.
    • CDN integration with Cloudflare.

This phase sharpened my skills in hosting environments and helped me bridge the gap between development and infrastructure.


Exploration and Innovation (2019–2023)

The COVID-19 lockdown provided an opportunity to dive deeper into programming and explore ambitious projects:

  • Game Tracker Platform Website:
    • Designed and built a platform to track 100,000+ gaming servers over a year.
    • Developed real-time features using Node.js (Redis) and PHP (MariaDB).
    • Enhanced understanding of socket communication and server-to-server interactions.
  • E-commerce Solutions:
    • Launched and managed a WooCommerce store, integrating payment systems like PayPal, Stripe, Paysafe, Revolut, and cryptocurrency platforms like Coinbase and Binance.
    • Automated workflows for dropshipping and sales optimization.
  • Personal Projects and Tools:
    • Built simple, efficient UI components using TailwindCSS and Bootstrap.
    • Developed my own MVC framework, used to create a gaming statistics website.
    • Expanded my PHP expertise with Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture.
    • Improved workflows with GitHub, ensuring clean code management and version control.

Through trial and error, I gained insights into user needs, technical reliability, and scalability.


Present Day

Today, I specialize in delivering high-quality, secure digital solutions tailored to client needs. My work spans:

  • Custom websites and e-commerce stores.
  • Automation tools for streamlining website management.
