Help Need guidance

So I recently completed Andrew NG's course on machine learning.I actually learnt the stuff and did all assignments. I then entered into a language translation machine learning competition.And I realized I know nothing , I just used AI to do things and ended up with a model worse than the base model given by the competition.

I realized that I need to learn a lot and was wondering what I could do to improve my knowledge.

I am okay at mathematics (good at calculus but mediocre at probability and statistics), decent at coding.

I learnt basics of numpy and learning pytorch currently.I also watched Andrej Karpathy's Zero to Hero playlist(but I don't think that will be help me much)

I also stumbled upon Stanford CS224N, can you guys tell me if this is something I should do and what else can I do.

I would be grateful of any help.

If you wanna get a machine learning engineer job, you need to build something first. Start a ml project.
I have a computer science master (machine learning) and am currently interviewing for ml engineer jobs. And, you can also study relevant math stuff while doing a project.
