Before joining NYC Data Science Academy, Brian Preze Joseph graduated with a BS in Cell/Cellular and Molecular Biology at John Jay College. He had worked as a Laboratory Technician at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health for two years. Today, he is an outstanding Data Scientist at Medidata Solution. This career transition from lab work to a data scientist started when Joseph found out about our academy taking his first course Data Science with R. Despite not knowing what to expect, he embraced the opportunity to join us and had a wonderful time at our bootcamp.
