\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our engineering team has a lot on their plates and a lot of projects they want to start working on! What better way to kick-start some of those projects than with summer interns? This year our server-side engineer is Colin! Learn a bit more about Colin below!<\/p>\n

What is your Backblaze title? <\/strong>
\nEngineering intern, server-side.<\/p>\n

Where are you originally from? <\/strong>
\nI was born in San Francisco, but I’ve lived in Oakland, CA since I was two years old.<\/p>\n

What do you expect to learn at Backblaze?<\/strong>
\nA lot. I’m relatively new to programming, and I don’t have much practical experience. I’d like to remedy that.<\/p>\n

Where else have you worked?<\/strong>
\nNowhere of significance.<\/p>\n

Where did you go to school?<\/strong>
\nI’ll start my junior year at UC Berkeley in the fall.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your dream job?<\/strong>
\nI’m not really sure. I’m only 20 years old; there’s a lot I could see myself doing. I’d be interesting to work in stats for a sports team but that’s not likely to happen.<\/p>\n

Favorite place you\u2019ve traveled?<\/strong>
\nNaples, Italy. Best pizza in the world.<\/p>\n

Of what achievement are you most proud? <\/strong>
\nI did a scorpion kick (soccer term) once when no one was looking.<\/p>\n

Star Trek or Star Wars?<\/strong>
\nI haven’t ever seen Star Trek, so definitely Star Wars.<\/p>\n

Coke or Pepsi? <\/strong>
\nCoke.<\/p>\n

Why do you like certain things? <\/strong>
\nI like certain things because I like them more than the other things that I don’t like? Not sure how to answer this.<\/p>\n

The real question is, did that scorpion kick go into a net? Welcome aboard!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
