Alan Friar

Founder & CEO, EnBra Group LLC. Independent researcher working across AI reliability architecture, machine-preference systems, and archaeoastronomy.

EnBra Group focuses on Digital Online Marketing optimization and industrial compliance and hazardous-area certification. Outside of that core work, this profile hosts a series of open research publications exploring how autonomous AI systems reason, retain context, and make preference-based decisions — along with a separate line of work in archaeoastronomy and geodesy.
