About Steven Silva
Axion Relay is the personal ecosystem of Steven Silva — combining emergency medicine, security, crisis intervention, communications, and hands-on technology into practical, real-world solutions.
Background
My name is Steven Silva, and I am an EMT with over 17 years of field experience in the Los Angeles emergency medical system. I’ve worked in high-volume 911 environments and inter-facility transport, served as an EMT Field Training Officer, and supported both new providers and seasoned crews in real-world emergency conditions.
Beyond ambulance work, I’ve spent years in security and crisis intervention, including work with LA County Department of Mental Health. In that role, I support clinicians and public-safety teams during psychiatric crises and high-risk encounters, focusing on scene safety, de-escalation, and protecting both staff and clients in high-stress situations.
Training & Certifications
I hold multiple professional certifications, including firearms, baton, defensive tools, and chemical agents such as OC and CS, as well as emergency medical response and disaster deployment. I am also Red Cross Disaster Ready deployable, prepared to assist in disaster environments where medical, logistical, and communication needs overlap.
I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the Gracie family at Gracie University Headquarters in Torrance, California, where I earned my rank through official certification. Jiu-Jitsu is my primary discipline, supported by training in Krav Maga and other mixed martial arts, helping me stay calm, controlled, and problem-solving under pressure.
I am also actively learning technical rope rescue, continuing to build skills in rope systems, knots, anchors, and rigging techniques that support rescue and disaster operations.
Technical Work – Axion Relay
I am the creator of Axion Relay, a project that combines cybersecurity, hardware integration, and real-world emergency response into practical solutions. My technical work includes Raspberry Pi development, RFID-based tracking systems, small-scale servers, network configuration, and building cloud-independent safety and monitoring tools.
I focus on systems that are simple, reliable, and secure—especially “set it and forget it” designs for people who don’t have a technical background but still need strong protection and awareness.
Connect
If you’re interested in emergency medical training, crisis intervention support, community safety concepts, disaster readiness, or technology built for real-world protection instead of hype, I’d be glad to connect.
