Building the communication infrastructure that disappears into the room. Policy, technology, and community—by design.
Shaping the regulatory framework that governs how 50+ million Americans with hearing and speech disabilities access telecommunications. Federal policy work at the intersection of technology, civil rights, and infrastructure.
Co-built accessible communications technology with MITRE—direct video calling infrastructure for federal agencies.
President of DIG, a national organization spanning 40+ federal agencies. Advocacy, mentorship, and systemic change from inside government.
Gallaudet Academic Bowl Hall of Fame. Student Body Government President and Chief Justice. Presented working group findings on interoperable video calling to the North American Numbering Council. Final protégé of Dr. Frank Turk, Sr. Built my first BBS at age 12. The work is personal because the infrastructure is personal.
When accessibility is treated as a feature, it can be descoped. When it's infrastructure, it's the foundation everything else stands on. The distinction changes how agencies build, procure, and regulate technology.
Video relay, direct video calling, accessible conferencing—the systems that make federal communication work for Deaf employees and the public aren't add-ons. They're how government meets its obligation.
DIG exists because Deaf professionals in government needed infrastructure for each other—mentorship, advocacy, visibility. Forty agencies. One network. Building power where the decisions get made.
