Why not start by submitting PRs to existing packages? Flux tutorials seem to be a good place to start learning and contributing to data science in Julia.

Given your web background, if you like Bayesian inference, maybe you could make a ShinyStan like app for assessing MCMC samples and convergence diagnostics, using something like Genie?

I’d definitely recommend working on something that interests you. IMO, intrinsic motivation is the best motivator. And the most fun.

This is a very nice offer. However, if your purpose is to learn Julia while contributing to the community, you can also just make PRs to existing packages, or Julia itself. Eg issues labeled good first issue are a great starting point. You also get a thorough code review as part of the process, and can learn a lot this way.
