The first and most important step is to familiarize yourself with the Android platform itself, before continuing to learn about the development of custom Android-based operating systems. There are all kinds of books, course and what not about the inner workings of AOSP. A book I can recommend is Android Internals::A Confectioner's Cookbook.

Start with implementing something small and make a PR for it on git.

Check through the open issues for ideas of what to implement, such as https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/4740

sarang These are probably a good starting point for familiarising yourself with the OS:

https://grapheneos.org/source
https://grapheneos.org/build

I agree with @DeletedUser202, building GrapheneOS is probably the best first step to start familiarizing yourself with the code base and organization of packages. And also looking at GrapheneOS github repositories, reading recent commits and similar. That is how I tried to familiarize myself with the code base at least.
