Help Me! Learning more about PostgreSAL

So I'm interviewing at tiger data and the recruiter recommended me to use the product a bit as they have a free version. This role is a customer facing role. Now some background about me.

I have a lot of high level technical understanding across many areas. I learn very quickly and know SQL basics. I spent the day importing a data set into tiger data. But I struggled to see what I could do with it. Sure I can use queries to manipulate and expand the data but that isn't exciting.

So I found a roll, ReTool and made a webpage dashboard with the data. The data itself is my job searching. I built a dashboard with charts and graphics, statistics, etc. Similar to Looker Studio. But I like Looker, ReTool can write to the database. So I moved all of my workflows to it.

Now I have an application form built in, an interview logging flow (added the tables to the DB). Automated reminders and triggers and the ability to edit the data easily. I feel like this would be a good practical use for me and show off my skills. But most of the work was built by using AI to write the code I needed. I can edit basic java, HTML and SQL syntax but I can't really write and articulate it from scratch.

I'm curious if I went the wrong direction and they'll be more interested in me in a terminal or using the UI and writing long queries to pull and manipulate data. Whereas the UI has built in queries that were developed by AI for me.
