Employee Spotlight: Blagovest G. – The Hip-Hop Ninja

Forget the usual “Back to School” hustle, “Back to Business” grind, or the endless emails about getting “Back on Track.” At FastComet, we’re taking a different approach this season. Instead of just talking about how September signals the end of summer, we’re spotlighting the guy bringing his beat – literally and figuratively – into the office: Blagovest “Blago” Ganev!

Blagovest, or as I would like to call him from now on – our Coffee-Powered Hip-Hop Ninja, has been with us for over a month, but he’s already a powerhouse in the FastComet family. With a coffee cup in one hand and his headphones blasting beats in the other, Blagovest is the guy you didn’t know you needed—until you meet him. By day, he’s solving tech mysteries and helping clients. By night, he’s producing hip-hop tracks that could drop the beat and some jaws.

So before we all dive into spreadsheets, lesson plans, or the next quarter’s goals, take a minute to meet the man making every day at FastComet just a little smoother and much cooler. Buckle up because Blagovest’s journey is just getting started, and trust us, you will want to stick around for this ride. Ready? Let’s hit play!

Please Introduce Yourself and Tell us About Your Typical Day at FastComet?

My name is Blagovest Ganev, a.k.a. I am one of the new guys. I have been in the company for little more than a month, and I can easily say that it feels like I’m home. The typical day starts with no other than a cup of coffee; the first sip is like a power-up button for me, and then I need good music because everything is better with music. After that, I open the ticketing queue, and the journey begins. As I said, I am only at the beginning of my career, and every new task or issue clients provide me with attracts my attention. 

There are no specific tasks I can say I prefer; every one I receive has its own “character” that requires different types of action. Maybe that is why I like that work so much; there is no other day.

Blagovest, Describe Your Typical Day at FastComet in Three Emojis

☕ – That first coffee, the magic potion that wakes me up.

🎼 – The excellent music is the thing that helps me to stay focused and also brings the atmosphere.

🕵️ – The investigation that is the core of our work. Sometimes, I feel like part technical support and detective at a crime scene.

What Gets you Fired up About Your Role at FastComet?

It is a mix of all. The work allows me to help people achieve their goals and improve myself. There is growth not only in a professional plan but also personally. I am still fresh, young, and, in some parts, wild, but I am starting to feel like I will learn something new every new day.

Rapid Fire Round

Coffee or tea? 

It will be the coffee for me. 

Cats or dogs? Dogs,

I am a dog person; you should get one if you want a loyal and trusted friend.

Early bird or night owl?

It depends on the situation. I can be a night owl and stay awake all night, but I can also be an early bird. Some friends joked that I was becoming an old man because I began yawning when the moon appeared. Something like a werewolf, but without the fur!

What Emoji Best Describes You?

 👤 – I am the guy in the shadow taking care of the work to be done.

What’s Your Go-to Unwind Activity After a Busy Day at FastComet?

The exciting part is that I am more than just a technical support agent. Drumroll please!

Have you ever heard of Peter Parker? Well, it is me. 

With all these years, my hobby became my side hustle. I like to create music in my free time, and no, I am not a guitarist, drummer, or singer. I am a musical producer in the hip-hop genre, also called “beatmaker.” Some people love to go fishing or hunting, some people love to watch movies, and I love to create music. I am a part of a group with a lot of projects and concerts behind me, but let’s keep that for another time!

The other thing that I love is basketball. You know that hip-hop culture includes basketball, but I played basketball for a long time before I started to make music. It helps me by being a little distraction from reality and clean my head. Nothing can compare to a good evening game with your team after a long day at work.

What’s Your Most Significant Professional or Personal Goal for this Year, Blagovest?

The professional goal that I want to achieve this year is to level up; as I said, I have been in the company for a little bit more than a month, and as expected, I am level 1 support now, but I am looking forward to becoming a level 2 by the end of the year.

My personal goal is to finish my apartment. In the middle of the summer, together with my girl, I bought an apartment, and we are currently working on the interior and its details.

What Would be the Title if Your Career at FastComet Were a Movie? 

The Lord of the Hosts

One domain to rule them all!

It will be a mix of a journey, fantasy, and a bit of comedy, just for a good vibe.

What’s the One Thing on Your Desk That Always Makes you Smile?

A pack of cigarettes and a cup of coffee. But, to be honest – it is my cup of coffee. Did I mention coffee earlier? 

What’s Your Favorite Part About Working From Anywhere?

First, it is family time; nothing can compare to the opportunity to have more time with the ones you love. Also, what I love about working from home is creating my own “atmosphere,” where I can listen to whatever music I like, set up my desk however I like, and, last but not least is that I do not need to drive to work because we all know what is tо get into traffic.

What’s One App or Tool You Couldn’t Live Without in Your Daily Work?

There are many of them, from notes, that I can use as hints or tools to show me where the current domain is pointed. In that type of work, such instruments are a must. 

And That’s a (W)Rap!

He brings way more than just tech support to the FastComet family. We’re lucky to have him as part of the crew, and we can’t wait to see where his journey takes him next – whether it’s to the next level in FastComet’s ranks or topping the charts in the hip-hop world.

So, as the season shifts from summer fun to fall focus, know that people like Blagovest are here to ensure your digital experience runs smoothly and your hosting is in expert hands. If you ever need a tech detective with a beat in his heart –  we got you covered. 

Until next time, stay caffeinated, stay inspired, and remember every challenge is just another beat in the track of success.
