Lawyer who writes code. Programmer who hacks legal rules. Always chasing that sole elegant solution to complex systems.
I've built coenttb.com entirely in Swift and open-sourced it. It uses the following packages, built for the Swift on web ecosystem:
- swift-css - A type-safe CSS DSL
- swift-html - HTML DSL with swift-css integration
- swift-web - Modern fork of PointFree's web architecture
- coenttb-web - Extended web framework with Vapor integrations
- swift-languages - Cross-platform translation library
- Advising groundbreaking life sciences projects:
- 100+ study at Amsterdam UMC
- Alzheimer Genetics Hub
- DEMENTREE biobank
- Contributing to the Swift web development ecosystem
- Building legal tech (in stealth)
- Writing about the intersection of law, technology, and startup life
Started as a law student with big dreams in legal tech, survived two near-bankruptcies, and emerged with a unique perspective on building software. Now I'm combining my legal expertise with a passion for elegant code, proving that Swift can be a powerful tool for web development and legal tech.
I believe in:
- Writing clean, functional code that stands the test of time
- Learning in public and helping others avoid common pitfalls
- Building tools that bridge the gap between law and technology
- Making web development in Swift not just possible, but elegant
