Kevin Ames

One of the company’s co-founding “rocket scientists”, Kevin Ames was one of the youngest lead engineers for Federal Military Defense Technologies at Hughes Aircraft and then Raytheon Systems. He took the lead on Lucid IQ’s legal case management software initiative in 1999 and became the chief engineer and architect for CaseManagerPro. He developed the CMP prototype almost single-handedly, which supported an operation of nearly 400 users for over a decade. Kevin was promoted to CTO of Lucid IQ in 2001, then COO in 2003. It was under his direction that CMP was conceived as the first commercial case management software with a SQL-Server backend, the first with fully browser-based user interface, and the first SaaS (then called “ASP”) delivery model back in 2003. Kevin holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in mathematics from Case Western Reserve, cum laude, and Claremont Graduate School and is well-published in technical periodicals.
