Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChristina Thompson is a versatile software engineer with 12 years of experience who blends hands-on full-stack development with thoughtful engineering leadership. She has shipped impactful features at Artsy and Leafly using JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js and Ruby on Rails, and contributed iOS UI work to Artsy’s widely-used Eigen mobile app. At Leafly she scaled from individual contributor to managing 12 direct reports across three teams, introduced an RFC process, and led cross-team efforts for strategic pilots like the Leafly × UberEats project. Christina pairs product-first engineering—designing APIs, improving onboarding flows, and boosting GMV—with programs that elevate team skills, such as peer learning and bi-annual technical assessments. After a deliberate break for travel, meditation, and community organizing, she returns to hands-on engineering with renewed global perspective and creative problem-solving. She thrives on turning user-centered ideas into reliable, maintainable code and building teams that can do the same.
