Networks & cybersecurity · Mackay, QLD · Australia-wide
I’m Tobias Schmitt — certified in cybersecurity and cloud support, with a background in technical IT procurement for Applied Materials and thirteen years in operations. Schmitt Tech is how I help small and mid-sized Australian businesses get their networks, Microsoft 365 and backups to a standard they can rely on.
A café with two terminals, a retailer with a back office, a trades business run from utes, a clinic, a small office. Any industry — the risks rhyme.
Internet, firewall, switching and Wi-Fi that reaches every corner — built to be handed over, not just made to work once.
Structured around the ACSC Essential Eight — starting with the controls that stop the common incidents, not the expensive ones.
Mailboxes, files and devices: tidy, recoverable, and locked down without making the team's day harder.
Technical sourcing for production and site IT infrastructure in semiconductor manufacturing — an S&P 500 company.
Five years hands-on in SAP ERP, then five years running my own field routes — the systems side and the on-site side of a business.
Apps and games designed, built and shipped end to end — from requirements and architecture to App Store release.
Completed through an intensive technical programme at Masterschool, 2025 – 2026, alongside project-management training.
