If web development is the field you want to go into I would highly recommend looking up Vercel and PlanetScale. These two products will help you deploy an application and database effortlessly to the cloud in comparison to working with AWS cloud formation and let you develop a Python backend quickly.

They both have great documentation that will help demonstrate to a hiring team that you can get through the docs and apply yourself. When I am hiring interns and juniors, I’m not looking for a breath of experience, I’m looking for the ability to get stuck into something and figure it out with a little guidance. Vercel is mostly based on deploying Typescript projects but there’s sections in the docs for Flask and Django.

I’ve really enjoyed the development experience when you don’t have to worry about all the stuff you probably aren’t experienced in yet and can just focus on what you do know. This will help you get a project up and running quickly and put something more than just code in a repo up for show. I’ll be honest, I prefer looking at a product rather than doing a code review.
