Alexis Barnes

I am a senior engineer in the Site Engineering organization at The Washington Post. My primary focus revolves around developing and maintaing data pipelines and building frontend components. The languages I primarily work in are TypeScript and Python. My approach values collaboration and embraces creative flexibility, constantly seeking new challenges.

I hold a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with a major in Media and Journalism and a second major in Communications: Media Production, along with a minor in history. Currently, I am pursuing an M.S. in computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

In my previous role, I functioned as a project manager and creative content producer at the Reese Innovation Lab. During this time, I collaborated on projects with renowned organizations such as TIME, Quartz, and the UNC System Office.

When I'm not working, I find joy in the company of my dogs Luna and Jax. I'm a devoted plant enthusiast and an avid reader (feel free to connect with me on Goodreads!).
