Kevin Bartolome
Software Engineer
A passionate software engineer, former coding instructor, and an F1 Racing enthusiast. Welcome to my corner of the digital world!
My journey took an enriching turn when I did a coding bootcamp and subsequently became an Instructional Assistant at that same bootcamp, App Academy. There, I had the privilege of guiding over 150 students through their coding journey, conducting code reviews, and leading system design sessions. This experience taught me that great code isn't just about solving problems-it's about writing solutions that others can understand and build upon.
Since getting into software development, I've focused on building tools that make a real impact. At Zeta Global, I built and launched a full end-to-end internal company-wide tool using Python and React to automate email scraping, cutting manual effort by 90% and improving data accuracy by 95%. I collaborate with product, marketing, and engineering teams in an Agile environment and design intuitive UIs that save 20+ hours per week across multiple teams. My passion lies in creating software that not only solves complex problems but does so with clean, maintainable code.
My flagship project: a comprehensive life management platform that leverages AI to transform how users handle their daily lives.
I architected a modular system with 15+ interconnected database models that seamlessly integrates financial planning, productivity tracking, and health monitoring in one intuitive interface.
The platform features custom AI analysis that delivers personalized insights while reducing processing costs by 40%.
An interactive terminal-based productivity timer that brings the proven Pomodoro Technique directly to your command line. Built with Bash scripting, it offers a distraction-free way to manage work sessions without leaving your development environment.
Features real-time keyboard input, pause/resume functionality, and cross-platform speech alerts that keep you informed without constantly checking the terminal.
My technical toolkit has grown to include TypeScript, Python, and modern frameworks like React 19 and Next.js 15 with the App Router. I've become proficient with FastAPI for building robust backends and SQLAlchemy 2.0+ for designing normalized database schemas.
I've also gained experience integrating AI capabilities through the OpenAI API, implementing secure authentication systems, and deploying through CI/CD pipelines on platforms like Vercel and Railway. I'm always excited to explore new technologies that can enhance the solutions I build and make them more impactful for users.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me following Formula 1 races or experimenting with new development tools and frameworks. I really enjoy the show Drive to Survive!
I'm particularly interested in the intersection of automation and user experience—finding ways to make complex processes simple and intuitive.
My free time is dedicated to exploring new technologies, reading tech blogs, taking online courses, and building small experimental projects. Staying curious and embracing a growth mindset is essential for long-term success in this rapidly evolving field.
I'm always eager to connect with fellow developers and technology enthusiasts who share my passion for building impactful tools. Whether you're interested in discussing AI-powered applications, automation solutions, or just want to chat about the latest F1 race, feel free to reach out!
