“There’s not enough data scientists out there, and every company wants them to do everything. So, you really have to focus on ‘How can I be most impactful with the limited time and resources I have?’ ”
Galvanize Data Science is a 12-week data science program born out of Zipfian Academy, which was acquired by Galvanize in 2014.
Jonathan Dinu and Ryan Orban were the founders of Zipfian, and are now continuing their work to teach data science at Galvanize.
