You seem very casual about this. This is a line of work which is at the forefront of industry right now. People like http://www.k2intelligence.com/ http://www.k2intelligence.com/ and Palantir are going to beat you to it, but that's besides the point. Do you have knowledge in distributed systems? Do you even know what trends to look for? Have you played with Petabytes, or even Terabytes of data before?
- rudimk 14y agoActually, as it so goes - I do. I majored in history and computer science. I've worked with IBM, on a contract with Amazon, harnessing EMR for analyzing customer sales, in order to figure out prevailing market patterns. Apart from that, I've freelanced as a policy analyst for think tanks in the Middle East, which in turn, collaborate with the State Department. My apologies for the apparent casualness - but my view is that even if I - or anyone else for that matter, doesn't know much, should it matter? It musn't serve as a barrier to doing something new. As long as one is ready to learn, though. That's the clincher.
