Id love to know how you got your first clients. After being at AWS for about 3 years, I have been working in humanoid robotics in Japan for another 3 years and am really eager to do something on my own and get out of the Japanese work-life balance nightmare. Any advice is appreciated.
I took the first two projects on Upwork while working full time, afterwards I managed to land my first long term project before my notice period and then I had a constant stream of projects.
Humanoid robots sound super difficult. I don't know how many companies might be working on humanoids so I'd advise you to try to look for something relatively broad. For example mobile robots and drones have been working quite well for me, but hardware wise I'd expect them to be much simpler than humanoids.
Sorry I dont have anything besides my Github: https://github.com/chrislgarry. All of the robotics work I have been doing is confidential and theyre quite strict about that.
