I’ll update this from time to time
Build a toy OS (Operating System)
Working on this. See portfolio section on OSDev. Here’s a demo vid from one of my OSdev projects back in April, also shown below:
Data Quest maxxing
Speedruning the lessons and exercises + projects Data Scientist in Python Certificate Program from DataQuest.io which goes through python basics to data scientist skills like stats, ML, regression, trees, pands, PyTorch, business metrics.
Amazon Web Services certificates
Currently targeting 2 certifications
The first certification to signal that I have verified basic understanding of the current biggest trend of today, being (Generative) Artificial Intelligence. The second cert is to signal I understand costs and cloud architecture that may be needed to implement anything from AI solutions to web applications.
Then build actual systems to implement the learning.
These together provide a good baseline competence to build from to tackle more complex systems and imo is great at opening doors in a world where everyone is just LARPing about being an expert. The certificate so you can get searched, then a deployed system to get believed.
System Design Projects
The goal is to learn software system design going from Business -> Product -> Sofware Architecture viewpoints, and be competent enough to implement prototypes down to the low level (coding) implementation.
