I went from full time employment to freelancing in 2010 or so. I wouldn't do that again. Freelancing is the worst parts of a full time job and the worst parts of entrepreneurship combined in retrospect.

I then founded a software services company where I currently work and grew it. It's been a very rewarding journey so far.

I'm not sure if either of these qualifies as "self employed" but that's that. :)

Does it mean it's around your software product, or it's some sort of agency?

An agency. We have a product in the market and a few internal experiments we're working on but the bulk of the revenue is from software services.
