Hey, I’m Danica Simic aka codingmermaid.ai

4 years ago, I started learning data science on the side while studying software engineering. In 2023, I got laid off from my job and instead of focusing on data science on the side, I founded my data and consulting business Aurora Data Strategies and documented my journey on social media. People became interested in the way I teach and explain data science and AI to others, so I developed several data and AI roadmaps to help others get legs. Now I teach and mentor aspiring data & AI engineers and build my digital product business for all tech and data people who want to make 6-figure salary or found their own businesses.
