You keep saying in comments all over the place that you think you're not smart enough to pursue some of the other alternatives people are suggesting.

I think you need to get over that feeling somehow. You're obviously too smart to do the work you're doing, because you're unhappy with it and it sounds like you're not being challenged enough. Other people around you also say things indicating that you are smart. Yet you seem to doubt your own smartness. What's going on there?

You're onto something, perhaps there is little imposter syndrome, but I think that suggestions such as CTO are little bit off :)
