Configuration & change management
Infrastructure as code, automated configuration, backups, and monitoring for repeatability and auditability.
sysadmin as a service
Reliable, resilient, automated, monitored.
Solutions
Continuous integration & deployment
Build pipelines that test, ship, migrate, and roll back safely — with less manual “button pushing”.
Security hardening & compliance
Hardening, firewalling, encryption, MFA/OAuth, logging, and systems designed to meet ISO27001 accreditation.
High availability & disaster recovery
Design for failure: redundancy, replication, load balancing, and rehearsed recovery plans.
AI augmentation
Self-hosted, open-source AI where third-party tooling isn’t safe or viable: analysis, RAG, and enhanced workflows.
Open source & social impact
Privacy, equality, and a bias toward open standards and community-driven tooling.
About
mig5 is a Melbourne-based sysadmin consultancy run by Miguel Jacq (he/him), working in this field since 2007. Miguel is an Australian and French citizen with a knack for creative technical solutions, lateral thinking, and an instinct for pattern recognition.
If it involves Linux servers, deployment, monitoring, security, or automation - especially when you’re short on in-house time or specialist depth - it's my bread and butter.
