I'm Salma — Senior Data Scientist, Co-Founder of AbruvaTech, and the person who figured this out the hard way.

I was 2 years into a PhD in game theory when I immigrated to Canada during COVID and lost everything. I spent a month in a shelter. I had to relearn the entire modern data stack — Python, cloud, ML pipelines — while rebuilding my life from zero.

2 years later, I was a Senior Data Scientist at Mastercard and a Lead Instructor at BrainStation, teaching hundreds of aspiring data scientists.

Now, with 13+ years of experience across the Ministry of Finance, Mastercard, and major Canadian institutions — and having been on both sides of the hiring table — I know exactly what gets people hired and what wastes their time.

I created these guides for people who want to break into data or level up to senior roles — without spending years on the wrong things.
