This Engineer's $21K/Year Side Hustle Helps Manufacturing Companies Go Digital
Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?
Hi there! My name is David Arroyo and I'm the founder of DigitalCollars, a digital consultancy that provides software solutions for manufacturing companies. My focus is on small and medium-size factories that need to optimize and automate some processes.
I’m making around $21,000 per year while working full-time in my day job. One-third of my revenue comes from implementing commercial apps and customizing them specifically for factory operations. The rest comes from consultant work, coding personalized solutions for certain areas, like planning or procurement.
I’ve been working in manufacturing for over nine years and realized there is a huge gap between software and factories. While the tech industry is thinking about DALL-E 2 and GPT-3, many factories are still running their production using spreadsheets.
