Hello, my name is Kevin Duffy and I'm an aspiring web developer currently working my way through The Odin Project (TOP).

6/26/25: Moving Milknthingzz to Lightsail to save on costs but also maintain using AWS since many professional use AWS cloud services. My future personal projects at kevinduffy.dev (Not currently live), will be on linode to try other services. Also, currently reading through Eloquent JavaScript to make sure I'm at least a functional base level with JavaScript haha (Just learned its also known as EMCAScript).

After the foundations section of TOP, which taught HTML, CSS, and Javascript, I had 2 choices between Ruby on Rails and NodeJS. I figured I was already on the path less traveled (Self-taught web developer) and choose the path least traveled again; I started learning Ruby on Rails and fell in love with it immeditatly. Ruby is such a beautiful language and amazing as an introduction into programming.

I built my first dynamic website Milknthingzz, to teach myself a bunch of different skills associated with web development. The most time consuming (hair pulling) was probably making the website live with Docker containers on an AWS EC2 instance.

After that I am currently teaching myself NodeJS beause I was quite curious how things looked on the other side (the other side for the two paths on TOP). I plan to use Node with Express, and either React or Angular, to make my next live web project. I would then work on a 'portfolio' website to show off my major projects and a little pizzazz to my projects. Lastly, my last project would likely be a mobile android app for the gym.
