Hey Alex — sounds like you've worked hard and come a long way. Congrats.

At this point I would for sure prioritize "real" projects over more tutorials or just learning projects. Possible recommendation: get a profile spun up on Upwork at a low(ish) rate ($15-$25/hr) and start actually seeing production code and projects through.

Another possible recommendation is to try to work with nonprofits or social justice movements to see if you can lend your talents and learnings to further a cause. This way your code is hitting real users and servers. I'd shift your mindset now, away from learning, into "doing" as much as you can.

Lastly — you may want to look into something like Amplify or Firebase to ship something more "Fullstack(ish)"
