I build things that make complicated systems simple.

A property data platform for Canada and the United States.

Houski takes the scattered, inconsistent public record - assessments, listings, addresses, geography - and turns it into one clean, queryable dataset that developers and analysts can actually build on. The pipeline is Rust end to end: importers that normalise every source into a common shape, an address standardiser that reconciles the same property described five different ways, and an API that serves the result. I co-founded it, run it, and still write a good deal of the code.

• Real estate

An auxiliary language designed to be the easiest one on Earth to learn.

Twelve letters, one sound per letter, and no irregular verbs, gendered nouns, silent letters or spelling exceptions anywhere in the grammar. Small roots snap together into larger words, so a handful of them already gets you thousands of meanings. Braille and sign language are part of the original design rather than translations bolted on afterwards - the braille dots sit directly on the printed strokes, so one printing reads by sight or by touch. The site itself is written in Nail, and the dictionary is live.

• Braille

A programming language for grug-brain developers that transpiles to Rust.

Nail is an experiment in taking things away. No mutability, no null, no classes, no generics, no macros, no package manager, no imports - and no hidden control flow either: its collection operations are spelled out as map, filter, reduce and scan rather than hidden behind method chains. What it compiles to is ordinary async Rust, so the result is genuinely fast rather than merely simple. The compiler is written in Rust, and this page you are reading is served by a Nail program.
