I am currently working as an automation tester using Java & Selenium to write and maintain a testing codebase for one of the major Indian consulting firms - I’m looking to pivot into front end development professionally in ~3 months at a medium or large US-based company. I have some experience working on personal projects in Vanilla JS and React. Anyone have some recommendations of projects to add to my portfolio or certs to get?

Personally, I would look at some front end job roles and see what they're looking for - you'll likely see some commonalities that can help you in figuring out what kind of certs to get. Maybe check LinkedIn or some of the specialised job boards
