Building a technology that saves lives is only half the battle. The other half is understanding the infrastructure it needs to live on. Recently, I shared my experience filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Illinois State Police (ISP). My goal was simple: to understand the existing landscape of emergency alerting contracts. The response? "No records found." To the uninitiated, that might look like a dead end. To a founder, that is a pivot point. Followin

Here is part of the email response back from ISP (Illinois State Police), " ISP does not maintain records responsive to your FOIA request." This leads me to believe, Department of Innovation and Technology may have the public data I need to access. I filled out a FOIA request with DoIT for documents related to the total cost, pricing structure, licensing fees, and duration/term of the agreement(s) betw

I shared a demo of our standalone app live, but in classic case of "developer's block" I completely blanked on part of the setup. At least the video walk-through didn't freeze on me. A strong reminder that a solid Plan B isn't just nice, it's essential. Overall, are intentions were aligne

Accumulation of log updates 11-06-25 Through my research, despite limited resources, I've concluded that the Illinois Department of Innovation & Technology  (DoIT), in collaboration with the Illinois State Police  (ISP), developed a real-time emergency alert system to improve roadside safety. This initiative supports Scott's Law , which requires drivers to slow down or move over for emergency vehicles. To ensure the system could reach dricers effectively, DoIT and ISP partner

October 13, 2025 Over a six-month period of delivering for Uber, I logged approximately 950 hours behind the wheel. During this time, I observed two to four active emergency vehicles in operation each day and identified and issue. During this initiative, AI served as a principle tool supporting my thoughts, innovation, process management, and execution. The technology development phase REVRD commenced on 27th of March, 2025. The development entailed distinctive cross-referenc

October 14, 2025 Several online excerpts expressing frustration during emergency vehicle experiences.
