Malsky joined the Times in 2020 to work with Interactive News on the pandemic data. She was part of the team that won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.
She also built tools and data pipelines for campaign finance data analysis, live election results and wildfire tracking. She served as a backend software engineer at New York Times Games.
