Bio
Dan Romano
It was great to watch Rodney work and operate. He approaches tasks, business problems and requirements gathering in a highly professional and competent manner. Strategic thinker with powerful analytical abilities. Star player at NYRR.
Dmitry Gukhman
Having worked for several large and small organizations; I have to say that Rodney is probably as good a Business Analyst (and overall technology professional), as I have seen. Upon my assignment with Road Runners, he was able to effectively get me caught up and up to speed on the systems and their business rules, in no time. Rodney has very deep and thorough understanding of the systems, complex business workflows, and their impact to the stakeholders. He is always upbeat, professional and eager roll up his sleeves, dive in and get the job done. He is an effective communicator, and is able to work on multitude of competing initiates in parallel. All while maintaining full control of his projects. He is (and would be) a great asset to any project team! It was my pleasure in working with you.
