βœ… Step 1: Choose Your Tech Stack



Before you start building projects, pick a tech stack based on your career goals:

App Developer? β†’ Flutter, React Native, Swift, Kotlin

🎯 Tip: Stick to one primary stack and master it instead of learning too many languages at once.

βœ… Projects – Links to your best work (with descriptions & GitHub links)
βœ… Blog (Optional) – Write about coding, trends, or tutorials
