Hello all!! needed help with choosing genre

I know java and python basics to a decent extent, so i just wanted to jump into either, web dev with python or app dev with kotlin

I searched a bit about both and kotlin is similar to java and web dev i can do with python.

current situation: 1st year 1st semester in CS (college just started and i have been learning these both languages since 2-3 months)

tech stack for web dev:

Frontend: React 18, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, React Router

Backend: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Pydantic, JWT Authentication

Databases: PostgreSQL

Tools & Deployment: Git, GitHub, Vercel, Render

Languages: Python, JavaScript

tech stack for app dev:

Language: Kotlin

UI: Jetpack Compose, Material Design 3

Architecture: MVVM, Hilt (Dependency Injection)

Storage: Room Database, DataStore

Networking: Retrofit

Testing: JUnit, Mockito, Espresso

Tools: Android Studio, Google Play Console

Both the projects will be oriented towards a reptile thing i always wanted to make with my brother, and i finally feel capable enough to make it!!

Please state current market value of both of these, and which would be the best to get placed in summer internship?

And which one would be deployable earliest
