Christina Qi is the Co-Founder and CEO of Databento. Databento launched 1.5 years ago, has $40M in funding, and is the data API backbone of over 8,000 companies today. She formerly founded Domeyard LP, a hedge fund focused on HFT that traded up to $7.1 billion USD per day. Failing to earn a job offer after a Wall Street internship, Christina started Domeyard from her dorm room with $1000 in savings, in 2012. Her fund was a tiny minnow amongst the tigers of the hedge fund world, but after Michael Lewis’s Flash Boys came out in 2014 and HFT firms hid from the spotlight, Domeyard accidentally found itself in the center of the ring. Over the next decade, her company’s story was featured on the front page of Forbes and Nikkei, and quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNN, NBC, and the Financial Times as a result of the controversy and fascination with HFT. By a series of accidents, Christina became a voice in her industry, contributing to the World Economic Forum’s research on AI in finance and teaching Domeyard’s case study at Harvard Business School. She is grateful to be able to open up about her mistakes, and to help people turn failures into opportunities. Christina is a member of the MIT Corporation Development Committee, a standing committee of the MIT Corporation (the board of trustees). She was Co-Chair of the Board of Invest in Girls, bringing financial literacy education to underserved populations across the US. Christina also sits on the Board of Directors of The Financial Executives Alliance (FEA) Hedge Fund Group, drove entrepreneurship efforts at the MIT Sloan Boston Alumni Association, and served on the U.S. Non-Profit Boards Committee of 100 Women in Finance. Although "X Under X" lists are a gimmick, she’ll admit that Forbes 30 Under 30 made a positive impact on her life by giving her a community - friends who dragged her out of bed during the lowest days of her life. Christina earned a Bachelor of Science in Management Science from MIT in 2013 and earned her CAIA designation in 2015.

As CTO, I serve as the sole architect, developer, and technical strategist behind the product. I own the entire technology stack — from designing frontend experiences in React to managing backend logic, authentication, and real-time features in Supabase. My role covers every part of the engineering process: • Frontend: I build dynamic, responsive UIs in React, optimizing for clarity, speed, and maintainability. • Backend: I use Supabase for database design (Postgres), serverless functions, real-time syncing, and secure authentication (RLS policies, JWTs). • DevOps: I manage version control, branching, and deployments through GitHub and GitHub Actions, ensuring a clean CI/CD pipeline and smooth production releases. • Product Execution: I translate business requirements into intuitive features, handle integrations, and iterate quickly based on feedback — all while keeping the codebase production-ready and scalable. As a solo technical lead, I make core architectural decisions, ship continuously, and maintain full accountability for the reliability, security, and performance of the app.
