I earned my degree in Information Technology from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where I focused on network systems and cybersecurity. This education provided a strong technical foundation, further strengthened through practical experience.

My professional journey spans multiple roles, offering a comprehensive 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 leading Australian telecommunications company. This position gave me deep insight into ISP infrastructure, data handling practices, and large-scale network security management.

2012–2016: I served as an IT Security Consultant for small and medium businesses across Melbourne, implementing full security solutions, conducting vulnerability assessments, and training staff in cybersecurity best practices.

2016–Present: I operate independently as a Security Consultant and Educator, specializing in VPN development and privacy solutions for individuals and households. My work includes personalized consultations, detailed security audits, educational content creation, and ongoing research into encryption, online tracking, and user protection strategies.

Alongside technical roles, I actively engage in digital privacy advocacy in Australia, contributing to policy discussions, participating in cybersecurity forums, and collaborating with organizations that promote digital rights.

Today, I continue to develop privacy-focused VPN technologies designed to make secure browsing intuitive and effective, empowering Australians and users worldwide to maintain control over their online safety.
