Testimonials.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
I am motivated, driven and professional, a goal-oriented leader who knows how to get things done. Here are some testimonials to support that.
“Rodrigo was a student in three of my classes. He is a hard-working, well organized, self-disciplined, and determined person. Rodrigo has the ability to carry out and complete any project on time. I think that Mr. Rodrigo will be a great asset to any organization.”
Raisa Szabo, Ph.D. - CEO, Applied Electronics, S.F.
“I met Rodrigo in 2010 while we were both students at Nova Southeastern University. We had many of the same classes, and worked together in the Network Communication and Security (NCS) Lab. Our insatiable desire to learn drew us together, and we challenged each other to grow in mathematics to computer science. At the NCS Lab, we stood up servers, researched open source software to support various Computer Science classes, and created scripts to maintain lab services. Those services included web hosting for student projects, safe shell learning environments, and virtualization support. Rodrigo was dedicated and tenacious. He’d often work long hours into the night to help minimize downtime when large projects needed extra attention. For example, when we were installing a new server rack, Rodrigo worked until 2 AM setting it up so downtime during critical hours was minimal. He also made himself available at any time when support issues came up, or when we needed extra help in general. It was clearly evident that Rodrigo took pride in his work. Rodrigo’s dedication was also apparent in his course work. He’d go beyond what was required by drawing from numerous sources outside of the textbook. He’d then incorporate those new skills into the projects we were working on in the lab. Whenever I was stuck on a problem, I could always count on Rodrigo to give me a new (and often invaluable) perspective on it. Rodrigo’s lab duties included tutoring other Computer Science students. His positive attitude and encouragement made him easy to approach, and get along with. Rodrigo enjoyed helping his fellow students, and seeing them succeed. Based on these points, and the many years I’ve known Rodrigo, I can easily and confidently recommend him.”
Jon Reyna - Senior Software Engineer
“I had the pleasure of having Rodrigo work on my team during my tenure at HSBC(HFC). Rodrigo has an amazing ability to maintain a positive outlook no matter what challenges he is faced with, a behaviour that is enviable. He is trustworthy and hard-working and always willing to help others.
His unquestionable tenacity to perform his best in a highly ethical manner is admirable, especially in today's competitive landscape.
I am confident in Rodrigo's ability to excel in anything he puts his mind to.”
Julie Gonzalez - Helping Multi-National Companies Speak to Global Audiences
“Master Corporate English has had an excellent work relationship with Rodrigo. He did a great job of setting up our business on internet, combining a very professional website with a Moodle platform for our advanced corporate and technical English educational programs. As of today, he continues as our System Administrator”
J. E. Gomez - Master Corporate English
“Rodrigo Escobar worked under my supervision in the capacity of Networking, Communications and Security (NCS) Lab Assistant. During his tenure with NCS Lab he worked on two of the most complicated projects that I was responsible for at Nova. With both projects, he was the main engineer involved, and as such, he was responsible for designing and architecting the solution, coding and testing. He overcame some very steep obstacles with both of these projects which would have certainly stumped a lesser engineer.
Rodrigo always exercises good judgement with the tasks he is assigned; he pays strict attention to detail and he produces a strong combination of both quality and quantity in his work products. He is eager to learn and he stays up to date on the latest technologies. Lastly, he is a good team player, always willing to pitch in and help, offering and receiving constructive feedback to other team members.
I would hire Rodrigo back in a heartbeat if my budget permitted it.”
Alvaro E. Escobar - Systems Engineer / Web Developer
