## Hands-on completion evidence

Complete the `Career Gaps` track in API Camp. For every lesson:

1. Implement the missing function in the editor.
2. Pass every Check Solution requirement.
3. Run the supplied local command.
4. Save one screenshot or console transcript in a portfolio repository.
5. Describe the work as a lab or learning project, never as production experience.

## Recommended order

1. TypeScript/Cypress/WebdriverIO and Java/REST Assured.
2. Docker/Kubernetes/Terraform and CI/CD orchestration.
3. gRPC/Pact and performance engineering.
4. React Native mobile automation.
5. AI/LLM evaluation and enterprise-platform testing.
6. Observability and security tooling.
