Rod is an incredible collaborator who communicates complex ideas clearly and always supports his teammates. Any company or engineering team needing a fresh set of eyes to help them grow, problem solve, become more efficient, or to improve company safety would be lucky to have him involved. I recommend Rod without hesitation for any future technical leadership or engineering roles.
