Tobias Schmitt is an experienced IT security coordinator and software developer based in Frankfurt, with eight years of focused experience and over two decades in software consulting and development. He combines hands-on backend engineering — including notable open-source contributions to Structr where he implemented two-factor authentication and enhanced registration flows — with practical security governance at the Deutscher Wetterdienst. As an independent developer he has delivered projects for major German clients such as Deutsche Bank, Lufthansa, DB Systel and broadcasters, blending enterprise-grade reliability with adaptable consulting practices. He has taught applied computer science, indicating an ability to communicate complex topics clearly to peers and students. Tobias pairs a formal computer science Diplom with studies in art history, a mix that surfaces in pragmatic yet creatively minded technical solutions. Colleagues know him for turning security requirements into usable, automated features rather than bottlenecks.
