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 formal academic education with over fifteen years of hands-on experience in the cybersecurity field.

I earned my degree in Information Technology from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where my studies focused on network architecture and cybersecurity. This academic background established a strong technical foundation that was further strengthened through practical implementation and problem-solving.

My professional journey spans multiple sectors, providing a comprehensive understanding of Australia’s digital landscape across commercial, consumer, and privacy-focused domains:

2008–2012: I began my career with a leading Australian telecommunications provider, working as a Network Administrator and Security Analyst. In this role, I gained deep insight into ISP infrastructure, data management practices, and large-scale network security operations.

2012–2016: I served as an IT Security Consultant for small and medium-sized enterprises across Melbourne, implementing complete security frameworks, conducting vulnerability assessments, and training staff on cybersecurity best practices.

2016–Present: I work independently as a Security Consultant and educator, specializing in VPN development and privacy-focused solutions for individuals and households. My activities include personalized consultations, thorough security audits, creating educational content, and continuous research on encryption, tracking methods, and modern privacy challenges.

In addition to my technical work, I am active in digital privacy advocacy in Australia, contributing to discussions on data retention laws, participating in cybersecurity panels, and collaborating with privacy-oriented organizations to advance digital rights and accessible security tools.

Today, I continue to develop and refine privacy-centered VPN solutions that combine robust protection with ease of use. My goal is to help Australians—and users worldwide—take control of their digital security and navigate the internet safely and confidently.
