Made in Maryland

Hi, I'm Danny.

I live in Maryland and have spent years around development and municipal planning, so I know how projects get built and approved. I have also spent 20 years in software, turning real-time data into decisions for large advertising and security companies and for government. Tradewinds is where those two jobs meet.

Every permit is public the day it is filed. It also sits in seven county systems in seven different formats, which makes it close to useless. We collect it, clean it, and tie each filing to the property and the company behind it. The result is a record of who builds what, and where, in an industry that publishes no numbers of its own.

Two groups read it. Distributors, regional contractors, and investors pay for reports on their counties and trades. Everyone else uses the registry for free: a plain record of who pulls permits and where.

Built only on public permit and property records. No phone numbers, no scraped personal data.
