What's a Good tool for a student to make

Attention tech artists! What is a good tool idea for a beginner-intermediate tech artist to put on their portfolio that will also be great for learning? :3
I am a solid 3D artist who can also code, but my implementation experience is low.
Also my emphasis is environment art!

    Do some brainstorming, what problems have you run into in your projects that's made you go 'this is really tedious'?

    It's a bit trivial (and I actually have my own scripts for it), but I wish there were simple and usable command line tools for many 'trivial' image processing tasks, like cropping, scaling, channel packing, etc. alongside some generation utils like uniform fills. I often don't want to open PS or Substance just to make a test texture or tweak it a little bit. ImageMagick gets most of the way but it's a usability nightmare (maybe in part because it's trying to do too much...)

    Implementing some of this from first principles in like C/C++/Rust would be a good portfolio demo, I feel.

    what platform is this for and what dev tools do you have ?
    also if this is for a portfolio have a look at what would be employers are listing in their requirements and perhaps tailor your studies toward that.
