Pipiasi Bogdan
Junior DevOps and cybersecurity enthusiast — backend developer in a previous life.
Profile
Hey — I'm Bogdan. Self-taught web developer from Romania, currently in Italy, deep into cybersecurity and DevOps. I make things that live on the internet, and I've been doing it since 2008, when I was ten and discovered "inspect element" at a netcafé.
What I actually love: gaming communities, hosting platforms, the intricate plumbing that makes a website feel fast at 3 a.m. when nobody's around to thank you. Today I freelance, study DevOps formally at IT School, and write tutorials about the boring infrastructure most people don't see.
Anthropic — Courses
Claude Code in Action
Anthropic Academy · completed April 2026
Anthropic's official training on agentic coding with Claude Code — workflows, automation and best practices.
Studying AI — Vibecoding
xConsole
Open source · daily driver
I used MobaXterm for years and kept fighting its problems — there was no real alternative, so I built my own: a zoomable multi-VPS SSH terminal canvas with a built-in AI assistant. I use it every day.
Hydra
Open source · experiment
An AI app that drives free browser accounts (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) to do the same job as Claude Code / Codex-style agents. The experiment: give browser sessions the same power those agents have running locally — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes and so on.
I started using AI at full scale at the beginning of 2026. What does that mean? I gave it access to the projects I had written and tested by hand for years:
gamequery.dev
Game-server data platform · ecosystem
My game-server query platform, and the integrations built around it.
Studying DevOps — IT School
Formal DevOps training at IT School — hands-on across the core toolchain:
ServersMonitoring
First project at IT School
Self-hosted, open-source server monitoring — system stats, network traffic, service checks and automated alerts, with a browser-based installer and no third-party dependencies.
devops-battleship-aws
Second project at IT School
Real-time multiplayer Battleship in the browser, used as a full DevOps showcase on AWS: Terraform-provisioned EC2, a six-container Docker Compose stack behind nginx, Redis-shared game state, Vault-managed secrets and zero inbound firewall rules via Cloudflare Tunnel.
Going deeper into Infrastructure as Code — and infrastructure in general.
GitHub org managed entirely from Terraform
devopsitschool
Repositories, teams and permissions for a whole organisation created and managed directly from Terraform — the way companies do it. The IaC itself lives in the private repo devopsitschool/github-terraform.
ProdX · ProdXCD · ProdXTF
End-to-end GitOps platform on GKE · three repos
A complete production-style platform split the GitOps way. ProdX — the FastAPI + React app with CI: lint, tests, Trivy and pip-audit security scans, image builds. ProdXTF — Terraform / HCP Terraform provisioning the GCP project, GKE cluster, Artifact Registry, Argo CD and Cloudflare Tunnel. ProdXCD — the Helm-chart source of truth Argo CD auto-syncs to the cluster, with HPA autoscaling, External Secrets + Vault and kube-prometheus-stack monitoring.
During the course I ported all my apps from raw VPS processes to Dockerised micro-services — quickly reaching 20–30 running containers. When maintenance started to feel heavy I upgraded again and moved everything to Kubernetes (K3s): autoscaling, readiness/liveness probes, Cloudflare Tunnels, secrets, rolling zero-downtime deploys, persistent volumes and a private in-cluster registry.
