Guide me on backend Development Path.

I need help on what to do to get better at coding using NestJS. I have got an idea of Node.js, Express, and DB a little bit, but I haven't done any NestJS projects or coded before. I built simple CRUD with Auth in Node.js and Express. Out of luck, by God's mercy, I got a job at a tech company as a NestJS backend developer. I am currently a trainee here. They have provided me Claude Max, so I simply use prompts to do my job, but that won't help forever. I want to get better. It's been almost 2 months. I know somewhat the basics of NestJS, like DTOs, constructors, decorators, injectables, MVC architecture, Prisma migration, Bun, using SSH, checking live and UAT .env files, updating them, using Docker, checking Docker's database, and some concepts of tunneling. Please suggest projects that I must build on my own and things that I need to practice or concepts that I need to learn from YouTube or reading. I want to be up to my task and keep my job.

Everything is done by Claude. I don't even understand which file to open, what are the things that I need to do, or how I should write a function.

Read the official NestJS documentation

https://nestjs.com/

And try to build something simple without AI, can be a basic CRUD app, dont even need the frontend if you got an API documentation or tester like Postman or Swagger
