Erran Carey presenting at Black Tech Fest 2023 on stage.
In 2023 I spoke on a GitLab panel โBuilding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion into DevSecOpsโ.
Attending again this year and hearing so many amazing speakers presenting was refreshing. I really enjoyed growing my LinkedIn network too. 4/6

GitLab squashed my reservations leaving this community by scheduling an interview with a Black@GitLab member.
He was excited to get to know me and he laid out a list of people to connect with before joining who would help me expand my network internally or otherwise. 3/6

At my last job at a company kickoff a bunch of us got together in person and started a private channel for Black and Latinx employees.
We hosted cookout calls monthly often featuring internal or guest speakers educating folks on financial or career development. 2/6

Erran Carey with wife Annie and son Kai standing on sand at his wedding on a beach with water in the background in 2020.
Erran is wearing a charcoal gray suit holding Kai in a light grey jacket and burgundy trousers with brown shoes. Annie is wearing a beautiful white wedding gown and holding a wedding bouquet.
2021 Erran, Annie, Kai, and a near-newborn Mateo taking a family photo against a plain background. All wearing blue jeans and white shirts. Mateo is snuggled in an aqua colored baby wrap.
Younger brother Mateo smiling on the left with brown eyes and light brown Afro hair in a motor vehicle water suit to avoid getting wet outside. Older brother Kai in a Marvel hoodie smiling with blue eyes and light brown soft curly-wavy hair.

โข In 2016 I met Annie.
โข In 2017 Kai was born.
โข In 2020 we got married.

In 2022 a recruiter from GitLab reached out and left a good impression. As I went through the interview process I knew I wanted to take on the challenge of incubating a new product focused on Breach and Attack Simulation for GitLab. 4/6
