    And I believe now it is time we build it.

Projects

  • Zero Trust Radio Alliance

    The Zero Trust Radio Alliance is an independent initiative modernizing emergency broadcast infrastructure through open standards, AI orchestration, and vendor-agnostic security. We’re building a NIST-grade framework for radio — protecting America’s last open communication system from cyber, RF, and metadata threats.

    Active in FCC filings, industry partnerships, and public safety discussions.

    Designed and deployed a fully automated, vendor-agnostic emergency broadcast workflow that integrates FEMA IPAWS and EAS infrastructure into modern broadcast chains. Leveraged n8n for orchestration, enabling real-time alert ingestion, verification, and distribution across AM/FM, streaming, and RadioDNS platforms. Implemented automated compliance logging, multi-county geotargeting, and AI-based alert verification, ensuring faster dissemination and higher reliability than legacy vendor systems…

Implemented automated compliance logging, multi-county geotargeting, and AI-based alert verification, ensuring faster dissemination and higher reliability than legacy vendor systems. This framework reduces operator load, eliminates single-vendor lock-in, and establishes a repeatable, standards-compliant model for resilient public safety communications.
