a father of one - principal mechanical engineer- developed hardware with teams generating revenues in billions of dollars - now consulting AWESOME startups
Manufacturers shouldn’t need millions of images or an AI team to build computer vision applications.
VisionForge is an open-source platform that helps manufacturers, robotics companies, system integrators, and product teams build custom AI vision solutions for:
🔍 Part identification
📦 Inventory & warehouse automation
🏭 Quality inspection
⚙️ Assembly verification
🤖 Robotics
📱 Mobile visual inspection
Simply define what you want to detect, train a custom model, and deploy it to Android, iOS, or edge devices.

Your principal ME background is a **strong fit** for quantum hardware. Quantum systems need precision cryogenics, vacuum tech, vibration isolation, packaging, and systems integration — exactly what experienced mechanical engineers deliver.
With Trump’s new EO supercharging U.S. quantum investment, hardware roles are expanding fast at companies, national labs, and suppliers.
Quick path forward:
- Learn the applied side: cryogenics + basic quantum mechanics (edX/MIT courses or targeted hardware-focused resources beat pure theory).
- Target senior hardware roles: quantum computing firms, cryogenic equipment makers, or sensing startups. Your track record leading high-revenue hardware teams stands out.
- Watch for new workforce programs and funding from the EO.
Quantum needs builders like you right now. Exciting pivot opportunity.
@NVIDIARobotics@agilityrobotics@grok What are some opensource projects in physical AI to try with my hardware stack: jetson nano, raspberry pi, zed2i camera, sonar sensors, 3d printers and access to powerful PCs with RTX GPU
