Maurits Van Der Schee
Maurits van der Schee (MSc, University of Amsterdam) is a software architect and performance engineer with over fifteen years of experience building and scaling high-traffic systems. He has worked across a wide range of organisations — from start-ups and scale-ups to large enterprises — including ING, Fastned, the City of Amsterdam, StackState, Belfabriek, Last Mile Solutions, and Xebia. His work consistently centers on one question: how do you build software that is correct, fast, and maintainable at scale?
Since 2016 Maurits writes on tqdev.com, a technical blog covering software architecture, API design, and high-traffic solutions, now at over 230 articles and 600 unique visitors per day. He is also a prolific open-source author with over 25 public projects on GitHub, accumulating more than 4,700 stars in total. His projects span REST API tooling, games, developer utilities, and observability tools — many of them single-file implementations that prioritize simplicity and portability. His 2007 graduation paper on the security of the OV-chipkaart won the Joop Bautz security award and received national media attention.
At Xebia Academy, Maurits trains professionals in AI-assisted programming, software architecture, API design, and performance engineering.
