Dodge Coates is a recent graduate in mathematics and computer science from Brooklyn College at City University of New York. During his senior project, an investigation into compression heuristic idea for quickly computing Levenshtein distance on large strings, Dodge acquired a taste for data analysis, yet lacked the tools for deeper exploration. Having had a strong innate interest in data, and recently having finished his undergraduate degree, pursuing data science knowledge at the NYC Data Science academy was a natural decision.
