We're starting a startup in computer vision. We're deploying across the web, but that's just because it's the cheapest distribution mechanism.

You describe interests that might imply you'd enjoy game development. Have you thought about giving that a go?

I think computer vision is cooler than gaming personally.

Actually, my skills are perfect for game development, but it seems if you want to work as a game developer you have to sacrifice pay or something else just so you can work on games. And the fact that I would work on games wouldn't really compensate for the sacrifices because I'm not a hardcore gamer that went into computer science just to write games.

I'm sorry to say, but we're not hiring at the moment. We try to bring people on only when they can do something that we can't.
