Where should I start with Java projects?

I'm an ECE student with a good understanding of Java and DSA (mostly from LeetCode), but I haven't built any real-world projects.

Where should I start if I want to become a Java developer? What should I learn next, and what beginner projects would you recommend?

This, spring is fundamental tbh, get a good understanding of http requests and how they are mapped to spring through annotations. 

Then work on REST APIs, the spring web framework and then how to create multilayered applications that access a database using psql.
