@ryangcox_: One of the biggest mistakes I see aspiring security engineers make is building projects that have nothing to do with cybersecurity. Calculators. To-do lists. Weather apps. Those are great for learning some basic Python fundamentals, but they don't tell a hiring manager that you can solve security problems. Instead, build projects that mirror the work you'd actually do on the job. Here are 4 projects that you can try to bolster your resume. Not only will you become a better Python developer, you'll build a portfolio that demonstrates skills employers are actually looking for.
