Trevor Brown

Journalist turned developer based in Bloomington, IN.

I spent 15 years in newsrooms — reporting, building data tools, and turning public records into stories. Now I build the tech that makes that work possible.

Top Projects

Open Cabinet

Open Cabinet
Financial disclosure tracker for U.S. executive-branch officials. 36 cabinet officials, 10,000+ stock transactions, $4.3B in trade volume parsed from OGE filings into searchable, structured data.

 Delegation Decoded

Delegation Decoded
Congressional accountability tracker for all 535 voting members organized by state delegation — votes, committees, campaign money, STOCK Act trades and 2026 races, with a grounded Ask assistant that cites the records it read.
Capitol Releases

Capitol Releases
Archival-grade database of every press release from all 535 members of Congress since January 2025 — 90,000+ records, four daily updates, deletion tombstones and Ask the record, RAG Q&A grounded in each member's own releases.

 News Pulse

News Pulse
Real-time global news monitor for journalists and OSINT analysts. 668 vetted sources across six platforms, surfaced through frequency-based surge detection rather than engagement ranking.
FOIA Tracker

FOIA Tracker
Federal FOIA backlog dashboard. Normalizes public FOIA.gov datasets (FY2008–FY2024 annual plus quarterly reports) into a queryable Next.js app that ranks federal agencies by backlog, backlog change, oldest pending requests, staffing context, and exemption invocations.
