If you haven’t heard about it yet, allow me to introduce you to a project that I roped @lrgraves and Julius Muschawek into.
It’s called Odd Engineer, and visitors can find experts in hard-to-find niche specialties and immediately book and pay for appointments with them. I tried to get a nice spectrum of physical product development knowledge represented, but IT’S A BIT OPTICS-HEAVY, TBH.
Right now, it’s only a 4-month pilot to see if I can prove the concept, but if the metrics validate the idea, I plan to build a bigger version next.
So, if you hit a wall and need to talk to a fellow nerd who understands the optics rabbit hole you work in…
…OR if you need something from a different niche of optics explained to you, you can check out all the optics/photonics people who can help you here:
