01 / Where this came from
I'm Christi.
Most women's about pages open with “not to brag, but.” I hate that. I've done things worth bragging about and I'm going to tell you all of them, because I want you to go do your own version.
My first job was HR assistant for the U.S. Antarctic Program. [Yes, I lived on the ice. No, it does not come up as often as you'd think.]
Then I did the thing capable women are told to do, and I did it well. High growth tech companies, one after another. I ran training and enablement at all three.
I was very good at it. I was also making other people rich.
I have moxy and I like showing it. That has never once meant I wanted less time with my kids. Both things get to be true.
I left in November 2022. A year later I bought a company and ran it as CEO.
What changed
I shipped my first production code in January 2026. I learned it because I needed the thing to work and nobody else was going to build it.
