I am Mia Wexford, an Australian specialist in IT security with extensive expertise in VPN technologies, secure networking, and digital privacy protection. You can learn more about my work and projects at miawexford.com. My career combines formal academic training with over fifteen years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity.

I earned my degree in Information Technology from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), focusing on network systems and cybersecurity. This education provided a strong technical foundation, which I further developed through practical implementation and problem-solving.

My professional journey spans diverse roles, offering a deep understanding of Australia’s digital landscape across corporate, consumer, and privacy-focused sectors:

2008–2012: I worked as a Network Administrator and Security Analyst for a major Australian telecommunications provider, gaining insight into ISP infrastructure, data handling, and large-scale network security operations.

2012–2016: I served as an IT Security Consultant for small and medium-sized businesses in Melbourne, implementing comprehensive security solutions, performing vulnerability assessments, and training staff on cybersecurity best practices.

2016–Present: I operate as an independent Security Consultant and educator, specializing in VPN development and privacy-focused solutions for individuals and households. My work includes personalized consultations, detailed security audits, creation of educational content, and continuous research into encryption, tracking methods, and user protection strategies.

In parallel with my technical work, I actively engage in digital privacy advocacy in Australia, contributing to discussions on data retention laws, participating in cybersecurity forums, and collaborating with privacy-focused organizations to promote accessible online protection tools.

Today, I continue to develop privacy-centric VPN solutions that are both secure and user-friendly, helping Australians—and users worldwide—take control of their digital safety and navigate the internet with confidence.
