Hi there!

I'm P.Bogdan, and I thrive on bringing the virtual world to life as a web developer with a passionate commitment to cyber security.
I've been on an exciting journey in the digital world, honing my skills and knowledge over the years.

Early Curiosity (2008-2010)

In 2008, at the age of 10, my journey into the world of digital curiosity began. While exploring the vast realm of the internet, I found myself captivated by the websites I encountered. This newfound fascination ignited a burning curiosity within me.

During this time, I embarked on my digital voyage, driven by a thirst for knowledge about the internet.
I was filled with questions about the creation of websites, the individuals responsible for them, and the intricate workings of domain names.
One particular aspect that intrigued me was the concept of IP addresses, PORTS and their significance, especially considering that many websites seemed to rely on direct IP access for search engine visibility at that point in time.
My journey into web development commenced with a simple tool known as 'inspect element.' Through this tool, I delved into the foundational elements of HTML and CSS, setting the stage for my ongoing exploration of the digital universe.

Gaming Community Ventures (2011-2013)

From 2011 to 2013, I immersed myself in the gaming community, venturing into various aspects of web development and server management.

In 2011, I began crafting HTML 'Website Intros' specifically tailored for gaming communities and gaming websites.
This endeavor allowed me to assist numerous individuals in navigating different platforms such as phpBB, IPB, MyBB, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and more.

The gaming industry experienced a surge in popularity in 2012, prompting me to delve deeper into the inner workings of gaming servers, with a particular focus on Linux.
This journey led me to Ubuntu, my preferred Linux distribution. During this time, I successfully created my own gaming server using SteamCMD, acquiring valuable insights into MySQL and Linux administration.

In 2013, my interests expanded to include Gaming Private MMORPG Servers. I began creating and editing websites and in-game shops for skins, offering them for free to server owners. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in developing custom ranking and achievement systems, enriching the gaming experience for players.

These years were defined by my exploration of server management, during which I familiarized myself with tools like GameCP, Open Game Panel, gsp-panel, and TCAdmin.
This experience equipped me with valuable skills in administering game servers and online communities.

Gaming Community Leadership (2014-2017)

From 2014 to 2017, my focus shifted towards gaming community leadership and enhancing online visibility.

In January 2014, I took a significant step by co-founding my own gaming community alongside a friend.
This marked the beginning of my journey into the realm of SEO, where I delved deep into the art of crafting effective titles and tags to boost website rankings.

Actively engaged in online communities, I offered assistance to members across a wide spectrum of topics, including Linux servers, websites, gaming servers, and even general computer issues. I authored tutorials and shared valuable resources, fostering a sense of community and knowledge exchange.

During this period, I honed my skills in using Pterodactyl to manage game servers spread across multiple dedicated servers located in various geographical regions.
Our community flourished, attracting over 10,000 members and consistently holding the top position in Google rankings for several years.

My focus extended to hosting gaming servers, providing web hosting services, managing voice servers, and ensuring the seamless operation of Linux systems, all while placing a strong emphasis on security and reliability.

Transition to Web Hosting and Programming (2017)

In 2017, I transitioned from my role in the gaming community to a new focus on web hosting services and programming. It marked a significant turning point in my journey.

During this pivotal year, I made the decision to launch my own web hosting platform, embarking on a path of continuous learning and skill expansion.
I took the initiative to develop my own website and provide a range of services to my growing clientele.

My journey led me to explore various aspects of web hosting and programming, including the use of WHMCS, virtualization technologies like Virtualizor and VMware, and an array of web hosting control panels such as cPanel, HestiaCP, VestaCP, Ajenti, and Froxlor. I became proficient in optimizing website speed, managing firewall rules, harnessing the power of cloud services like Cloudflare, and working with domain registration platforms.

With dedication and hard work, I successfully built a customer base comprising over 50 clients with diverse needs. These clients ranged from news websites and gaming forums to local businesses and WooCommerce shops.

My domain and hosting portfolio expanded to encompass 40 domains, and I established partnerships with 20 hosting providers, including well-known names such as OVH, A2 Hosting, Hostinger, SiteGround, Bluehost, Vultr, HostGator, GoDaddy, Namecheap, IONOS, and Contabo. This period of exploration provided me with valuable insights into the hosting industry from multiple perspectives.

Diving Deeper (2019-2023)

From 2019 to 2023, I embarked on a journey of deeper exploration and continuous learning, driven by the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 lockdown.

During this period, I seized the opportunity to invest more time in learning by enrolling in online courses that broadened my horizons. It was during this time that I conceived and brought to life my Game Tracker Platform Website.

This ambitious project pushed me to dive into the intricate world of socket communication and server-to-server interactions. I painstakingly developed the platform from the ground up, utilizing technologies like Node.js (Redis) and PHP (MariaDB). The result of my efforts was nothing short of remarkable, as I successfully tracked over 100,000 servers for an entire year, a testament to my unwavering dedication and perseverance.

In addition to my programming endeavors, I ventured into the realm of e-commerce. Here, I honed my skills in working with automated payment systems, seamlessly integrating APIs from reputable providers such as Paysafe, PayPal, Stripe, Revolut, SMS Mobile Payments, and even cryptocurrency platforms like Coinbase and Binance. My proficiency extended to popular e-commerce platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce, where I explored concepts like dropshipping and automation techniques.

With dedication and meticulous documentation, I launched my very own thriving WooCommerce website. This platform allowed me to sell digital products while providing top-notch customer support, resulting in an impressive customer base of over 1,000 within the first year of operation in 2019.

Through a series of personal projects, some of which didn't quite achieve their intended goals these experiences allowed me to gain invaluable insights into user needs and preferences. Additionally, I expanded my skillset by incorporating tools such as TailwindCSS and Bootstrap for designing simple yet highly functional elements.
In the realm of PHP, I delved into new programming models like Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture.
In fact, I even developed my own MVC framework, which proved instrumental in building the gaming statistics website.
Furthermore, I honed my proficiency in utilizing GitHub, ensuring that my code and project files remain well-organized and easily accessible. This was a pivotal step, considering my past experiences of misplacing files in the digital abyss. In essence, these endeavors have not only enriched my skillset but have also imparted valuable lessons in resilience, adaptability, and the importance of continuous improvement.

Present Day

In the present day, my primary focus is on crafting exceptional digital solutions for both individuals and businesses. Drawing upon my expertise in popular platforms and programming languages, I am committed to delivering high-quality work that meets and exceeds the expectations of my clients.

I thrive on constructive feedback and take immense satisfaction in the success and happiness of my clients, whether they are buyers on my platforms or companies that enlist my services.

At this moment, I am passionately dedicated to working on my personal projects, where my goal is to create automation services that simplify website management for business owners. My aim is to empower them to concentrate more on their core interests and operations, leaving the technical intricacies in my capable hands.

This journey is a reflection of my unwavering commitment to continuous learning and my steadfast dedication to making the digital landscape more accessible and efficient for everyone. I am excited to see where this ongoing journey will lead, as I continue to innovate and provide value to those I serve.
