THE_GUESTCharity MajorsCharity is the CTO of honeycomb.io, an observability platform with 50 million in funding. She has the funny nickname, Mipsy Tipsy, and 60 K followers on Twitter. She blogs on charity.wtf. Homeschooled in the Idaho mountains, she didn’t have access to a computer growing up. It was only when she went to college on a music scholarship at 15 that she was properly exposed to computers. Seeing that there were so few women in the lab fueled her contrarian streak -” obviously that's where I belong”. That, coupled with the fact that all music majors she knew were poor pushed her into tech. She began hanging out in the computer labs, and in her junior year, she was offered a job in Silicon Value for $75,000. In Silicon Valley, she built the first spam filter for qmail at a company called ‘Critical Path’.She then went on to work at Linden Labs where she learnt about databases, Parse where she was an early adopter of MongoDB, and finally, upon leaving the now Facebook-owned Parse, she started her own company called Honeycomb of which she is the CTO.
