Ask HN: I write queries at a top 3 retailer and I want to help you

Hi All,

I am a Sr. Business Analyst at a top 3 retailer. I currently write queries mostly against IBM DB2.

I have been writing some pretty interesting reporting/analysis queries at work for the 2 years + and have gotten decently good at extracting complicated results from huge databases.

I'd like to help some start-ups get meaningful results from their datasets and flex my mind a bit outside of retail.

If anyone doesn't have a data guy and needs a query or two written, shoot me an e-mail gene dawt karshenboym at the huge mountainview company

Well, an analyst would protect an email like that ... seems legit.

Am I being trolled?

na, just thought it was a good obfuscation is all. Fitting for your profession.

Why not just write out your email address? Why add a barrier if you're looking for work?

Re: looking for work. I am offering to help, not looking for work. I have a full-time job that I am very happy with.

Re:E-mail. I obfuscated my email to keep the e-mail spam crawlers from easily finding it and offering me assortments of male enhancements and my rightful cash stored in a African bank directly to my inbox.
