That's fantastic. From your contract on LinkedIn, you can branch out. The hardest step is usually the first step but if you have built a really strong reputation, people will come to you for projects without you having to chase them. T

Networking and having a really niche skill would be your best bet. Would also be good to think about the other side’s perspective - why should a US company hire a UK contractor over a US contractor? I’m working with a UK contractor together

Based on the data sources you’ve mentioned, there’s not really a single dashboard that lets you pull together everything and customize their visuals. Generally I’ve seen folks use a simple ETL tool + custom scripts + dashboard tool to bring

Not sure what your budget is but I’ve used AWS for handling PDFs and it’s been pretty good at detecting content via boundary boxes.

Personally, I’d begin from figuring out company strategy and how the team will deliver on it and what KPIs I’d use to measure the team’s output. I’d then map out what are the strengths and weaknesses of the team including skills gaps. This

Interesting thought. We ran into the same issue working on a recommendation system engine as well and previously tried to build a solution around it. Curious to know what’s driving your interest in post-analysis?

With your skillset, I’d highly recommend starting your own consultancy. There’s likely an incredible demand for you can offer. I’m also interested in connecting to see if there’s any opportunity with the projects that come my way. I’d love

For larger organizations, there are governance rules, accountabilities and politics at play. Generally, developers are not allowed to deploy models unless they are within the teams mandated to do so. I haven't seen any "AI" t

Best of luck! This feels very much like Algorithmia and a previous startup that I built a few years back. The challenge I experienced is the model productionization process and accountabilities as opposed to the infrastructure. No amount of

Focusing on jobs where your output makes an immediate impact is an incredibly smart move to make sure you matter. Of course, most roles matter but there are too few managers who know how to vouch and articulate a team’s business value prope

This is just how large enterprises work. Nothing deliberate. They operate in longer cycles.

Most contracts are standard 30-90 days with large enterprises. And they do take a while to process given their large structure. Sometimes there are breaches of contract terms but as a smaller consultancy serving a large organization, you re

It’s been several years since I began but it’s been an amazing experience given I’ve always wanted to do something entrepreneurial. I feel a lot happier knowing that I can help clients advise them on technology and bring solutions to their

There are quite a few open-source wiki solutions that you might consider self-hosting. What are some killer features that you’d consider Confluence to be great at? We run a managed support function so if you need help, we can take on suppor

It varies from company to company. For some, usually the executive team comes up with a percentage of costs that need to be removed and then the message for team managers is to identify the individuals. For others, it's silent and it&#

I’ve been on both sides of the table: software vendor/consultant and buyer so I can share some other insights others may not have yet. Your question is still too general and without knowing your product, it’s hard to advise on go-to-ma

That’s fair. For a radical idea, a friend has his eyes set on building a self-sustaining biosphere dome to mimic the South East Asian climate in Texas. He’s hoping to introduce tropical birds and plants. Fascinating project and a great sour
