Select a tech stack of your choice and make projects using it. Learn Data structures & Algorithms and implement them in those projects. You can sharpen your skills on platforms like Leetcode, hackerrank, etc. Do this and you should be in good shape technically after a couple of months/years.. that part depends on you :)
