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 that was further strengthened through practical, real-world experience.

My professional journey spans multiple roles, giving me a deep understanding of Australia’s digital ecosystem across corporate, consumer, and privacy-focused sectors:

2008–2012: Worked as a Network Administrator and Security Analyst for a major Australian telecommunications company, gaining insight into ISP infrastructure, data practices, and large-scale network security.

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

2016–Present: Operate as an independent Security Consultant and educator, specializing in VPN technologies and privacy solutions for individuals and households. My work includes personalized consultations, security audits, educational content creation, and ongoing research into encryption, online tracking, and user protection strategies.

Alongside 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.

Today, I continue to develop privacy-centric VPN solutions that combine robust protection with user-friendly design, empowering Australians and global users to safeguard their online presence and navigate the internet confidently.
