re: Contracting while on payroll

You need to look at your employment contract. Often any intellectual property produced that aligns with your employer’s business belongs to them regardless if it was created outside of business hours.
If you really have something, you need to quit your job and start a business.

Set up an Estonian e residency company online for $100. Now you have an international business entity. Hide the fact you had anything to do with the app development.
Also don’t take me seriously I read and watch too much spy shite.

We live in a "what have you done for me lately" world. They might give you a pat on the back and tell you to keep it up, but in the future if they have to downsize they are not going keep you just because awhile back you figured out something that fixed A problem. But then again, you never know.

You’re an attorney and this is what you come up with?
What a disaster this could be

Depends on your business. My company, due to legal requirements, requires all outside business to be registered. If not, they could end up getting in big trouble.

What did you say? Can't hear you from down there

Normally you would disclose to them that you are working on this independently. If you didn’t, you may not have a way to prove you didn’t do this on company time

Richard's laptop was in the shop so he used a Hooli computer to work on Pied Piper

Good luck with your upcoming legal fight and lack of employment.
Hope you find something in your field sooner than later.

Made an app that I just did proof of concept for today.
Technically for all intensive porpises, you don't really have an actual product. You have a wireframe... a concept but not an actual thing. Right, right???
One day you may have a product but currently it's an idea. Since it's not a real product, there is no itellectual property, just an idea and I'm pretty sure you didn't sign anything applying to relinquishing all of your ideas.

Yeah, I already told them I worked on it independently. I also have another side hustle where I’m working on drones with laser beams to do wild bird mitigation and all around bio security. I have a registered company. I apply for grants or did when they were being funded.
I got tired of helping kill hundreds of millions of birds, so I thought I might try to do something else.

I dont know but dont let them frick you. I worked with a guy that invented a mud pump that 100s of companies now use. Company got the royalties and he got a $1000 bonus. Spent the rest of his life working as a mechanic and died broke.

Yeah not a finished product. Just a demo video I made of what it could look like.

First off, did your PoC ingest actual proprietary company data, live internal asset telemetry, confidential GIS layers, proprietary CSV schemas with real operational secrets or did you build it on synthetic/public data?
I'd go with an enterprise annual site license with a managed SLA, or an exclusive internal lease where you operate as an internal software vendor/consultant. Never sell a flat buyout unless it's life-changing money; emergency ops tools grow in value exponentially once disaster hits.

No, all the data I used for the demo was fake data. Everything I designed was done so with publicly shared information and then my own work organizing that data.

Like I said, I’m solid. But thanks for your big contribution to this thread.
