I've been considering that move. To be completely honest, that's actually what I was doing whilst at Univesrity. I had set up a limited company, working on my own content recommendation startup. I was also freelancing as a Php and ASP.net dev at the time. I was actually making more at the time than I am now, 3 years on from graduation. Such is the nature of contract work, I suppose.

The thing is, after University I fell out of love with web development, and in love with AI.

I'd like to continue in that field. But I can't imagine it's as easy to find contract work there. You can't simply point people to your portfolio.

I suppose I could have a go pointing to the papers I've published and the articles in magazines on my work. Perhaps something to look into more seriously.

Thanks for the advice, at any rate.
