Asgard EHS

About the developer

The person behind Asgard — an EHS professional who learned to code to fix his own tools.

Asgard is built by Adam Bick — a Certified EHS Manager and ISO Lead Auditor with over 15 years in automotive manufacturing, who taught himself to code to solve the problems he kept running into on the job.

Background

The tools in this ecosystem didn’t start as a software project. They started as frustration. Years of managing environmental compliance programs, coordinating ISO 14001/45001 audits, writing hazardous waste manifests, and tracking corrective actions across facilities made one thing clear: the tooling available to EHS professionals is either overpriced SaaS that locks in your data, or spreadsheets held together with good intentions.

So he learned to build his own.

Professional Experience

Adam’s career spans the full scope of EHS and industrial coatings — from launching Ecoat lines for GM programs at Metalsa, to leading process improvements across three facilities at Nailor Industries, to his current role managing environmental compliance and paint operations at Gestamp. Highlights include:

  • Certified EHS Manager (ISO 45001 / ISO 14001) and ISO Lead Auditor
  • Developed an integrated ISO 14001/45001 management system, consolidating two legacy systems into a unified framework
  • Successfully defended a regulatory classification against an external ISO auditor on RCRA waste characterization
  • Achieved 50% reduction in recordable safety incidents through systematic hazard identification
  • Published in Products Finishing magazine on industrial pretreatment processes
  • OSHA 30-Hour certified, Michigan EGLE Storm Water Operator

Technical Stack

Adam works primarily in Go and Python, with additional experience in Node.js and Julia. The Asgard ecosystem is built in Go for its single-binary deployments, strong concurrency model, and zero-dependency distribution — things that matter when your users are EHS professionals, not developers.

On AI

Adam believes AI is most powerful as a partnership — a symbiotic relationship where AI handles what it does faster than humans, and humans provide the judgment, context, and domain expertise that AI lacks. Asgard is built with this philosophy: AI assistance where it earns its place, human judgment where the stakes demand it.

The right way to use AI isn’t to hand over the wheel. It’s to have a capable co-pilot.
