Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandra Millatmal is a Programs Manager and former senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building editorial CMS and front-end platforms for news and education organizations. She helped architect and extend ProseMirror-backed rich-text systems at Newsela and contributed to Oak, The New York Times’ collaborative editor, bringing deep domain expertise in content tooling and publishing workflows. Alex favors pragmatic, philosophically grounded engineering—prioritizing usefulness and inclusion over allegiance to any single technology—and has shipped greenfield Rails apps, React design systems, and cross-functional team processes like pair programming and on-call rotations. Her background spans journalism, curriculum development, and community-centered tech education, informing a unique perspective on narrative bias, access to information, and equitable product design. Currently based in New York and pursuing digital humanities graduate work, she blends technical craft with humanities-minded questions about data, lineage, and mutual aid. Off-hours she writes fiction, mentors others, and cares for two elderly housecats, signaling a steady curiosity beyond code.
