Top SchoolRenze De Vries is a Director of Engineering with 13+ years of experience building and scaling high-traffic commerce and payments platforms, currently leading engineering at Booking.com after driving platform transformation at Mollie and eBay Classifieds. He blends hands-on technical depth in Kubernetes, cloud (AWS/GCP), streaming (Kafka) and large-scale storage with executive skills in OKRs, organisation design and SRE adoption to boost developer velocity and platform reliability.

A tinkerer at heart, he still experiments with robotics, IoT and NoSQL—bringing a practitioner’s curiosity to strategic architecture and platform vision.
