Being part of a start-up means wearing as many hats as needed to get things done. Writing copy for pitch decks or rapidly tossing together code to prototype an idea is a normal day. When ideas are coming together, the technology is of course vital, but success stories happen when people find a way to not just work together, but to support and appreciate all the sacrifices it takes to build something new. There is nothing more fulfilling than creating something useful that yields the chance to leave something behind that truly make a positive difference for people you may never meet.

Developed a BHPH dealer management add-on system designed specifically to improve the collection efficiencies on a portfolio of about 700 sub-prime consumer loans. Via a LAMP stack with jQuery and other open-source tools, NAILCAR was optimized for desktop and mobile devices and integrates with industry standard DMS products via a REST API.

Starting at the Ford Woodhaven plant as a CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) manager, designed and wrote hundreds of plant floor data collection software systems to automate the delivery of real-time production stats to alpha pagers. Spear-headed and secured funding for the development team that created a logistics inventory scheduling system called JEDI (Just-In-Time Execution Distribution Initiative). This project was the ultimate manufacturing bot, acquiring data from multiple disparate corporate systems for the purpose of making critical decisions to schedule production. This was designed and written by a covert team within the Ford Science Research Lab, as it was vehemently supported by plant scheduling personnel and plant management. JEDI replaced i2 Production Scheduler, a multi-million dollar project that in almost a year after "installation" was never used to successfully schedule a single part.JEDI was deployed and eventually was nominated and won the annual Henry Ford Technology Award. To-date, this application continues to provide Ford stamping plants with a tool that mostly eliminated premium freight due to the complexity plant floor scheduling.

Provided IT support, software design and network design services to Mazda Motors where the Mazda MX-6 and the Ford Probe were produced. Helped form their Ford-merged IT group (Mazda Systems Services) that supported vehicle assembly operations. This included a variety of projects from pulling fiber optic cable on the plant floor, configuring routers and switches. Wrote scripts and software to achieve compliance or improve vehicle quality. Was then hired into Mazda Systems Services, reporting to the plant manager.The game-changer during the Mazda era was QMIS (Quality Management Info System), an assembly line voice-recognition project, co-built with Allen Bradley/Rockwell Automation, that replaced pens and clipboards with a belt-worn, data collection, voice input system. This project reduced QC turn-around time from 2 shifts to 5 minutes. QMIS was nominated to the Smithsonian Computerworld Awards where it placed in the top three in the factory floor automation division.Was invited up the road to the Ford Woodhaven Stamping plant to help them route production counts from a mainframe to alphanumeric pagers. This allowed management to react to quality issues in minutes, not hours. Long before the term "texting" was coined, a trend was started that put 4000+ alpha-pagers into the Ford plants to broadcast production states.

Feeling the call of an entrepreneurial spirit, became part of a tech start-up that created The Personal Companion, a voice-activated, interactive system that utilized leading edge voice recognition technology.Leading the news aggregation group, Kase designed one of the first "bots" to automatically gather daily news from Gannett New Media based on how frequently users viewed/listened to certain articles.The company received national recognition in addition to The Personal Companion being voted the Michigan Technology Council Innovation of the Year. About 20 years later, Siri and Alexa were born.

It all began in Milwaukee at Inland Steel/Composite Panels Division, by writing regression models on a TI-59 and then on mainframe using PL/I and SAS. This was back when writing code required some physical effort. The single printer was located about 1/2 mile from the manufacturing office where the one mainframe terminal for the plant floor was located. This is where the fascination started with the design of sandwich core structures and the related mechanical analysis for strength, stiffness and weight.
