I started consulting. Now it would be really hard to go back to doing a single aspect when as a consultant, I get to do many (GUI/computer vision/graphics/embedded).

What sort of customers? That's a similar set of skills to me, but I am struggling to see a path to consulting.

Small companies and a couple of big ones.

The golf ball vision project was a small company, like 6 people. Another vision one is for a tiny medical startup. The laser product was for a large company. I’d worked for the director like 10 years earlier. The radar graphics is for a medium (50?) sized company.

I get the gigs mostly through friends.
