CloudSim ship countdown
— days. Plan week loads with the dashboard.
Today's top 3, in order
- DSA — Graph/DFS Medium: retry Surrounded Regions until the boundary-first DFS is clean.
- CloudSim — add docker-compose for backend, frontend, and database; prove it boots from one command.
- Career artery — 30 minutes business literacy: read one AI/cloud earnings-call excerpt and capture three operating metrics.
Mentor note
Stage 1 is not about looking senior; it is about producing senior evidence. Keep the lane narrow: CloudSim, DSA, AI engineering signal.
One shippable artifact beats another hour of planning.
Mentor Note
Today's the day to do the work, not narrate it.

CloudSim Ship Countdown
—
days until May 31, 2026 ship deadline
Status: ~65% complete. Remaining critical path:
Dockerize: docker-compose for backend + frontend + DB
Week 2
Pytest suite — at least 5 backend tests, then expand
Week 1
GitHub Actions CI pipeline (run tests on push)
Week 3
Deploy: Render/Railway (backend) + Vercel (frontend)
Week 3
Record 2-3 min demo video + tag v1.0
Week 4
README polish: 3 screenshots, GitHub topics, fix hardcoded path
Quick win
Top 3 Priorities — Today
Week 1 of 30-Day Plan: Pick Your Lane + Start CloudSim Tests
- 1
Daily DSA — 1 LeetCode Medium (45 min). The reflex matters more than the answer. Yesterday: Combination Sum.
- 2
CloudSim — write 1 pytest test today. Just one. Momentum > perfection. Target: persist EC2 metrics tests this week.
- 3
One outreach message. LinkedIn DM to one AI Engineer / SWE. Ask a question, don't pitch.
CEO-Path Weekly Habits
This Week's Compounding Five
DSA daily — 5 LeetCode Mediums this week (Mon–Fri)
1 public technical post — LinkedIn or blog. This week: "How I built an 8-agent LLM pipeline at Wayfair."
2 real conversations — 1 hiring person + 1 person one stage ahead
30 min business literacy — earnings call, post-mortem, or case study
Sunday ship + reflect — what shipped, what stalled, one thing for next week
Habits reset Monday at midnight.
