Perhaps my posting is a little atypical for Hacker News, but I'm looking for a position as a Data/Business Analyst or something similar. Although, truthfully, I'm open to new opportunities which I haven't considered. I'm very good with people and technology, so any position which taps those strengths is likely to be a good fit. In college I studied economics and supplemented with additional statistics, math, and programming (in Java and Python). Since college I've worked for two banks as a Credit Risk Analyst (which is basically what a bank calls a Data Analyst), and as a Data Migration Specialist for a small startup. I've become quite proficient solving problems using Excel and Access (including all the bells and whistles: VBA, Macros, SQL, formulas, pivot tables/charts, etc.). Though it's been a while since I used SAS, I was quite proficient with it in a prior position.
What can I do? I can analyze data (including extracting data and working with it until the point it can be analyzed), document and manage processes, transform data from one form to another (wide to long, for example), and more. Please see my resume on LinkedIn for more detail.
Remote: Yes (or local, I'm flexible)
Willing to relocate: Yes (with relocation assistance)
Technologies: SQL, SAS, R, SAP BusinessObjects, Microsoft Office: Excel (pivot tables, formulas, filters, macros, charts, VBA), Access (VBA and SQL), Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Word; Operating systems: Windows, Mac, Linux; Programming: Java, Python, Ruby on Rails, Ruby, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Haml, Slim, Sass.
