I interned at GazeHawk in the summer of 2011 as a blogger. It was my first job in technology as well as my first real job after graduating from college.
It was one of the best summers of my life. The GazeHawk team is incredibly talented and full of amazing people. I particularly miss our company lunch discussions, which regularly ranged over number theory, politics, literature, and everything of interest in-between.
I remember, when I was trying to set up my own personal website after hours, I asked Brian to take a look at the PHP I was writing (I still did not have that much programming experience at this point). He glanced at my code, then looked back at his computer and instantly typed out a SQL injection attack that would have dumped my database. Then he grinned and showed me exactly how to fix what I was doing.
