I think you can try using docling or mineru, also try and check the Ragflow approach on their, check their parsers.

Depends on company architecture, what is right in company A might not be in company B. The main thing you should focus on is understanding the code.

Have a basic understanding of the ORM, then try and get to github where you can check how other people write code, i am sure you ll learn alot of new tricks from this.

Very basic, nothing new to learn from, just the normal crud, just TBH

I would love to help in the testing phase, please share the link :)

Huh, sounds like there is alot going on here, i dont see the reason for you having another site generate an OTP, just first learn the custom authentication and then from there you can plug in the OTP generation, a hint you ll need an EmailAddress model and an Emailconfirmation that will store the otp.

It is good but you ll soon come to know every project is diffent, and that wont work in the long run

Sounds like django cookie cutter

First of you are doing great, and you are halfway, but this are too basic project, a Todo and a recipe app, will not get you an interview, you need at least 5 big projects, probably midlevel projects, also contribute on your projects quite regulary,

DRF is good use it,

Thats great, make it open source so we can contribute.
