Outcome

Ship a paid product with auth, Stripe billing, transactional emails, and a live URL — the resume bullet that proves you can actually deliver software.

Why this path

Most junior devs interview saying 'I want to build products' but have nothing live. This path takes you from Python basics to a deployed SaaS with paying users — the single most credible portfolio piece you can have when applying or freelancing.

Resume bullet (when finished)

“Designed, built, and deployed a SaaS web app: FastAPI backend, Postgres, JWT auth, Stripe subscriptions, transactional email, observability, and a live URL with real users.”
