Hi Sandeep. Some actionable advice, I hope

I think the best way to go about doing this is to collaborate with others and work on some open-source project. When you do hobby projects, you learn the framework/language. You would also pick up some design patterns, but you learn 10x when you work with "veterans" on production grade projects. These you learn though code reviews, discussions on issues etc.

I recently came across Typescript website... and they have done a lot to make it collaborator friendly. There is a roadmap here: github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-We...

Look for issues labelled "You can do this" (github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-We...)

Raise a few PRs.. PRs against "You can do this" might be accepted. You will learn a lot when you make the changes, and but learn twice as much when your PR gets reviewed.
