Representation Matters

Deborah Carter is the Founder and Managing Director of NewTechKids and Managing Director of PreparationTech Foundation. When she founded NewTechKids nine years ago, it was the first tech academy in Amsterdam to teach computer science, programming, design, and critical thinking about technology to primary school students. Later, she helped launch a non-profit called PreparationTech, which uses video interviews with a diverse group of tech role models as well as company visits and internships to challenge the high-school stereotype that only nerds and geeks work in tech. Deborah’s journey is the focus of Episodе 2 of our HashiCast: Womеn in Tеch series, as podcast hosts Sarah Polan, HashiCorp Fiеld CTO, and Kelly Kitagawa, a HashiCorp Senior Solutions Engineer, dive into Deborah’s experiences as a woman of color, hеr impact on tеch еducation, and how shе is continually challеnging thе status quo. HashiCorp provides infrastructure automation software for multi-cloud environments, enabling enterprises to unlock a common cloud operating model to provision, secure, connect, and run any application on any infrastructure. HashiCorp tools Vagrant, Packer, Terraform, Vault, Consul, Nomad, Boundary, and Waypoint allow organizations to deliver applications faster by helping enterprises transition from manual processes and ITIL practices to self-service automation and DevOps practices.
