Hi, I’m Dave.

I’m a product manager that is sick of operations & other PMs asking me to write simple SQL queries or create tableau dashboards.

I’m creating a tool that translates human text into simple sql queries to enable data analysis for everyone without needing to learn SQL.

“How many [column name] did we have on [Date]”

This isn’t easy, but if done successfully will be extremely valuable.

Really interesting idea. As someone who has been in a data analyst role for roughly 9 years and frustrated by the lack of effort others have to learn SQL or even a BI tool for reporting needs it sounds like an interesting idea. Would be interested in learning more about how you are tackling the issue. Career background is Marketing & Analytics, but I have been doing development work for 6+ (NodeJS,Postgresql,Python) Any preferred method to connect?

Seems you understand the pain point. There have been numerous people who have asked for help learning SQL, and they never see it through. On the other side of the problem, analysts at companies are not there for simple SQL queries, it’s an inefficient use of time as opposed to in-depth analysis.

Very cool. I have been thinking about the same idea but more towards geospatial data. Whats the best way to contact you?
