Create basic projects

• Simple UI
• Todo App
• Build an API
• Integrate and API
• CLI App with DB support
• Read code of a public library framework

Create portfolio based on:

• Relevance:
  • High-performance CLI tool
  • High-performance microservices
  • Web3/blockchain applications/analysis
  • Crypto trading tools
  • Ultra-optimized embedded systems
• Substance:
  • Clean
  • Modular
  • Troughtfully architected
• Including:
  • Real db, queue, metrics, logging, kafka
  • Data processing pipeline that must not drop events
  • Highhroughput component that sits between services
  • Deployable with Docker and CI without drama
  • Model errors so other services know what happened
• Initial ideas (develop 2 or 3):
  • Open Source contributions
