Offer HN: I will work for free in San Francisco this week

I'm staying in San Francisco and will be here until the 6th of March; I came here to expose myself to a different culture and perspective (I'm from the UK) and I would love to visit your startup, I would even be happy to do some work for you for free!

To give you an idea of what I might be able to do for you, my background is I:

  - have a PhD in Machine Learning (graduated in 2010)
  - am a software developer (primarily full-stack web)
  - run a small SaaS business in London
  - recently started building iOS apps
  - have experience in industry in the UK and Japan
  - have some understanding of the Japanese market

Of late I'm particularly interested in idea validation and data-driven business intelligence, e.g. use of split testing, cohort analysis and other techniques generally used in lean startups to learn and improve as quickly as possible.

I'm open to any and all suggestions (including just grabbing a coffee/beer!). My name is Stefan and you can reach me at styrmis@gmail.com

Thank you!

(The reason why I am offering to work for free is just to try and give something back in exchange for your time; I'm not actively seeking employment.)
