How to be a Cloud Developer.

I have 3.5+ years of experience in Python(Django, Flask, FastAPI) along with exposure to some frontend libraries like React.

I am well versed in Docker(not so much in Kubernetes tho).

I have 1 certification on AWS cloud practitioner.

But I feel until I create projects it doesn't really mean anything l. I intend to specialize in GCP.

I have enrolled in skills cloud booster(GCP) for self learning in GCP.

To all the people who have been cloud developers, is there a better way we can learn and create projects to showcase?
