About Miky's Tech Soup

ABN: 33 910 688 189
Owner : Michael Ibanes  (Linux System Administrator, Cloud Systems Administrator & Software developer)  << click the terms if you are unsure what they mean.

+25 years of experience with Unix/Linux. Installation, configuration, system tasks automation, application development, administration & management, networking, cloud server deployment.

Specialised in CentOS/RHEL/Rocky & Google Cloud Platform, from a simple single server to larger multi-purpose auto-scaling clusters, deployment, setup and management. Firewalls, Load balancing, Proxies, VPCs, VPN tunnels & Servers, Web Servers, DB MySQL/PostgreSQL servers, Server & Network Monitoring, mail servers, file sharing servers, Incremental backup servers, LDAP, DNS, the list goes on.

Open source and commercial software installation & configuring, such as Apache, Nginx, Litespeed, CloudLinux, Cpanel, DA, GitLabServer, Zimbra, Nextcloud, OpenVBX, Atmail and many more, name it, I probably set up a server at some stage for the particular service or application. I particularly like to use my coding skills (Bash, Go, PHP, C++) to integrate, link, and automate anything and everything in multi-server/network environments.

I'm currently permanently contracted and not actively looking for extra work. I do occasionally consider small remote Linux system administration tasks when my workload allows it.
