Reading through your post, it struck me that your skill set is very close to that of a CTO of a small startup (the missing part is around hiring and managing, and maybe you’ve done that as well). At least it sounds a lot like my first few months on the job: one day you’ll be setting up the company website, the next doing some hacky back-end scripting, then some “good enough” ML for a product prototype, and the next day you’ll be troubleshooting the O365 corporate account. So this might be an avenue to look into... perhaps as someone else mentioned by attending meetups where you’ll meet similar-minded individuals who’ll be more interested in what you can do than what your CV says.
