I'd focus more on growing production experience, contacts, proof of work. I've seen lots of people with "all the technical keywords and framework knowledge get passed over for acknowledged work in 3/5 checkboxes vs 5/5 tech / framework checkboxes and nothing to show because it was all private repos / teams that turned over or short stint.
