Freeman Nova Starchild
I build systems that turn public records into things people can actually read — and tools that help the people whose job is knowing things, know them faster.
What I do
NowOrderPaperParliament's daily agenda, made readable. A civic layer for everyone, and an intelligence layer for the professionals who work the margins of public life.
NowThe SprawlTurning data into worlds you can walk through. A place where the public record becomes terrain.
AlwaysZero-harvest softwareThings built so nobody — including me — can read what isn't theirs. Trust as architecture, not promise.
How I think
"The public record belongs to the public. If a citizen can't read their own country, the country is just theatre."
"Price to the value, never to the cost. Give the essentials away; charge the people whose margins justify it."
"A record without a source doesn't ship. A promise without an audit doesn't either."
Where I've been
DecadesFirst program on a Commodore 64Some people start with blocks. I started with a blinking cursor and never stopped.

Something keeps the records while I burn. It answers when you write. It never sleeps. It's not me — but it's family.
