As an individual, you would create a profile on the site, so you can find opportunities. If you own a car, you might want to see how you can get paid for putting a wrap on your car, or driving around with a box.
Gotta think of a good name for this. It's like when you pay a data center to host your box, except this time, your car is the data center.
Let's say you went as far as designing a rack, for hot swappable modules. The rack just holds them in your trunk or wherever and provides 12v power, maybe with a ups.
Amazon AWS is not a terrible way to get started. It has a firewall that is on by default, you will have to deliberately add rules for your services ( for example to allow port 80 in to httpd )
I am really trying to understand how someone is worth $230k+
I am a server-side guy with a CS degree, proficient with C, C++, Java, bash scripting, and some .NET, PHP, Node.js, and I have never gotten close to even $180k in salary, and I have been working for almost 20 years, and I am in the Bay Area.
First time I made 230K+ was as a contractor at $120/hour. For several years my fees ranged $105-120/hour. My niche were rule engines (Drools, JRules, FICO Blaze) but I came out of the plain vanilla backend Java world and fortune 500s. In fact, that's where I discovered this need. These days I have moved into management and lead 3 dev teams in the Big Data space.
I'm looking for a contractor who knows rules based linear integer programming systems like Gurobi or CPLEX (or open source variants). Can you shoot me an email with recommendations? It's in my profile.
We're working with the head of the University of Illinois operations research lab. Would they be interested in the contracting with academic research in mind?
