It resolves the major managerial pain points for all the stakeholders in the space – namely, the owners, administrators, teachers, and parents.Childcare is an extremely regulated and labor-intensive business. There is a very thin line between profit and loss. It is a hard business to run. Even though childcare is very expensive, the worker salaries are low, which causes a high turnover and further worsens the problems of running a center. The other problems faced in center management are a difficult office that requires constant paperwork, no easy way of measuring children’s development outcomes, and disengaged parents. Our solution automates and tremendously reduces office work, it increases profitability, helps implement state recommended child development standards/guidelines for a more regulated classroom, and creates parent-teacher engagement. The iCare Virtual Classroom is a secure, operations integrated web conferencing tool that lets centers teach children at their homes and collect additional revenue from it. Show less

Joined one of the family’s 15-year old plastics business, which was a supplier to GM, Toyota, and GE. Drove all day a couple of times a week to offices and manufacturing plants in MI and KY meeting buyers and engineers. Brought many new jobs back and engineered them for production. Almost tripled the company’s sales in 3 years.

Solved a very interesting and critical problem in radar detection. Measurements from radars are run through mathematical correlation to detect objects such as enemy planes. The problem is that the correlation methods create ghosts; meaning, one plane appears as many in the correlation outcome. One weekend we took our toddler son to a theme park. Watching him on a spinning teacups ride while standing outside, I noticed that even though everyone was on the same platform, to an observer… Show more Solved a very interesting and critical problem in radar detection. Measurements from radars are run through mathematical correlation to detect objects such as enemy planes. The problem is that the correlation methods create ghosts; meaning, one plane appears as many in the correlation outcome. One weekend we took our toddler son to a theme park. Watching him on a spinning teacups ride while standing outside, I noticed that even though everyone was on the same platform, to an observer everyone appeared to be moving differently – some even appeared to be standstill for a moment or moving extremely fast. From this, I realized that the ghosts in the radar detection problem will be moving at abnormal speeds and so can be filtered out.Sometimes the best creative solutions to hard problems emerge when you step away.
