I am Mia Wexford, an Australian specialist in IT security with extensive expertise in VPN technologies, secure networking, and digital privacy protection. You can explore my professional projects and resources at miawexford.com. My career combines academic education with over fifteen years of hands-on experience in the cybersecurity industry.

I earned my degree in Information Technology from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), focusing on network architecture and cybersecurity. This foundation was strengthened through real-world implementation and problem-solving.

My professional journey spans multiple roles, giving me a broad understanding of Australia’s digital landscape across commercial, consumer, and privacy-focused domains:

2008–2012: I worked with a leading Australian telecommunications provider as a Network Administrator and Security Analyst, gaining in-depth knowledge of ISP infrastructure, data handling practices, and large-scale network security operations.

2012–2016: I served as an IT Security Consultant for small and medium-sized enterprises throughout Melbourne. I implemented comprehensive security frameworks, performed audits, identified vulnerabilities, and trained teams in cybersecurity best practices.

2016–Present: I operate as an independent Security Consultant and educator, specializing in VPN development and privacy solutions for individuals and households. My work includes personalized consultations, detailed security assessments, educational content creation, and ongoing research into encryption, tracking technologies, and modern privacy risks.

Alongside my technical work, I am actively involved in digital privacy advocacy in Australia. I contribute to discussions on data retention laws, participate in cybersecurity panels, and collaborate with privacy-focused organizations to advance digital rights and user-friendly security tools.

Today, I continue to develop privacy-centric VPN solutions that are both secure and easy to use. My mission is to help Australians and users worldwide protect their digital presence and navigate the internet confidently.
