Age 17–18: Specialization & Portfolio
Published on 7 February 2025 on the legacy site and attributed there to Devina, this roadmap focused on choosing a technical specialization, developing larger projects, preparing a portfolio, and building readiness for further study.
Projects
Build larger systems
Planning, implementation, testing, debugging, deployment, and optimization were treated as the core of project-based learning.
Practice
Problem solving
Competitive programming, data structures, coding challenges, and real-world cases appeared as practice mechanisms.
Portfolio
Show the evidence
GitHub, a public portfolio, competitions, and presentations were positioned as ways to demonstrate progress before university.
Current Relevance
Portfolio-first thinking still fits the current direction.
The strongest idea in the historical roadmap is not a specific framework or career path, but the emphasis on visible projects and evidence. The current Science → Engineering → Aerospace portfolio keeps that principle while narrowing the long-term academic direction.
