I work in Education. There are a surprisingly small number of vendors that are willing to do little projects in the space. When I hear "I wish we had something to do X", I take notes and come back with offers to build X. Recently, I've decided to make this my own Project as my employer is shuttering it's doors in 6 months.
I do work for Portal Games. We publish all sorts of awesome stuff, mostly from our CEO, Ignacy Trzewiczek. The rest of the team is in Poland, so I am the de-facto English authority. I write rules and such. Also, I manage all our US convention appearances.
