Senior🎓
Top SchoolCamillia Barnes is a software engineer at Google with 11 years of professional experience who applies deep mathematical training (PhD/AM from Harvard, MASt Cambridge) to algorithmic systems implemented in C++ and Python. She contributes to Chromium and Chrome DevTools—working on Shared Storage, DevTools integration, and web-platform-tests—bringing both back-end refactors and front-end UI additions to one of the most widely used open-source browser codebases. A former liberal arts mathematics professor, she combines rigorous proof-style thinking with production engineering, which shows in her attention to test reliability and careful refactoring. Recruited via Google's Foobar challenge, she enjoys tackling enumerative and combinatorial problems and pursues algorithmic puzzles off-hours. Outside of code she is a mosaicist, gardener, and maker of mathematical crafts, and even names her cats after famous mathematicians. Based in Cambridge, MA, she is open to conversations about algorithms, privacy-preserving web features, and collaborative problem solving.
