Best way to transition from SDET to SWE?
When I first graduated with a CS degree I got a job in test automation where I automated tests with Python for embedded systems. I later moved to a different company where my title was now "Software Engineer" but my role is still focused on test automation with Python, now for android devices. I've done this for a few years now and I want to move on to do something like fullstack, backend, or data engineering.
I've done some small typescript tutorials and I'm interested in learning more. I came across theodinproject.com when researching and it seems like a good start. Is my best path forward to go through the odin project to build a github portfolio to start applying to new roles?
Any pointers or opinions are greatly appreciated!

Solution
No idea about this website, you can pick whatever works for you, there is no website that will make you get a job.
I checked one of their courses but they just go through the very basics, if you want to master these topics, then you need something better.
I recommended in other questions to check for a roadmap, which gives you an idea where to start what you should focus on. Then I would just check what is the current status of the market but if you want to learn typescript and some projects, then you are looking at learning either React or Angular which are very requested by the current job market.
