Christy La Guardia
Senior Full Stack Engineer | Balance Theory

"Full Stack Software Engineer with experience at early and late stage startups. Self-taught and also a boot camp grad with a background in mechanical engineering. Non-traditional background, bi-racial, and a passionate supporter of women in tech."
I'm here to listen and share my knowledge & experience with you.
I've been building software since 2017 as a web-focused engineer. Before that, my work ranged from a mechanical engineering technician, a refrigeration product specialist, a database manager, and even an AutoCAD drafter.
I also run an online business, with my partner, facilitating meaningful conversations among film scholars, academics, and enthusiasts.
I took a non-traditional route into tech by learning on the job and attending a code school. I know how difficult it is to get your foot in the door and what it takes to make it happen.
I'm passionate about helping others reach their goals, including breaking into tech. If you're thinking about it, I'd be happy to chat with you and answer any questions you may have. As an experienced mentor, I can help you discover your path or what might be holding you back.

Christy was great! She was very insightful and had a lot of helpful tips. It’s obvious that she is experienced and worked hard to build her career from the ground up. The hour flew by and I’m sure I could have learned much more with more time.
