Why Bloomberg Matters in the Arc
- First serious enterprise SWE exposure (sophomore + junior summers)
- Two distinct stacks (Next.js market feed + Python/ML classifier) - broad surface area
- Established the leadership thread on the resume: "Led Agile sprints", "led technical design reviews"
- Princeton, NJ location meant Kevin didn't relocate - Bloomberg integrated with the Princeton academic life
Open Questions for Kevin
