  • spring-petclinic

    A sample Spring-based application

  • An implementation of Spring Pet Clinic or "yet another social media clone" isn't going to turn any heads. I want to see projects that demonstrate taking an abstract, real-world problem that real-world people have, and solving it with code. That can be problems that only you are experiencing -- I love personal software.

  • codewars.com

    Issue tracker for Codewars

  • Also this site has alot of leetcode problems but also has a lot of "fun ones" that aren't really related to interviews but can help. I'd definitely look into this site since I enjoyed it honestly.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
