Rodrigo provided thoughtful, actionable insights that gave our team at Dead Nice a valuable external checkpoint. His feedback on accessibility, particularly around alt text and screen readers, was practical and easy to apply. Accessibility is an important focus for us, we are excited to continue learning and find ways to strengthen it further. We would confidently recommend Rodrigo to any team looking to refine their work with an accessibility expert's perspective.

I had the privilege of managing and working with Rodrigo at Square Enix from 2022 to 2024. His relentless drive and creativity in promoting Accessibility across the organization were not only persistent but truly inspiring. Rodrigo consistently demonstrated exceptional organization and a self-driven approach. Rodrigo’s ability to advocate for accessibility with both passion and precision made a significant impact on our teams. His dedication went beyond expectations, setting a high standard. Rodrigo comes with my highest recommendation—any organization would be fortunate to have him as part of their team.

Having worked with Rodrigo for several years, I must say he is an excellent team member. He helped us all understand accessibility needs on all our projects, his contribution and knowledge on the matter were extremely valuable. Rodrigo also easily adjusted into all our projects’ pipelines and team dynamics. On top of that he is an extremely nice person, we have been very lucky to have had him as part of the team. I am glad we worked together and have no hesitation recommending him to potential employers.

Rodrigo is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is genuinely passionate about accessibility and is always proactively pushing for change within the business whilst respecting the pressures and demands on the relevant teams. I always enjoy our catch-ups as Rodrigo is friendly and has a lot of time to listen. He has helped me view existing processes and projects with a new lens of always factoring in accessibility as a priority and his input on events organisation and procurement processes has been incredibly valuable. I would highly recommend him as an incredibly valuable member of any team.

I had the pleasure of working with Rodrigo for three years. He has a strong understanding of UX, UI, and Front-End Development. During our time working together we had several ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) focused projects. Not only does this provide a unique point of view on what users might need, it also reinforces clean, semantic, and functional coding. Rodrigo is one of the most organized people I have ever met. He has excellent time management skills and strongly believes in following process – while still being able to think on his feet and adjust to any situation. He immerses himself in the design and development community which gives him a great understanding of the industry and where it's going. With his entrepreneurial spirit and desire to help others, he will most likely be at the forefront of the next big thing. Rodrigo would be a great asset to any team. I hope to work with him again in the future.

Since Rodrigo joined the team his enthusiasm and accessibility knowledge has been apparent from the beginning. His approach to educating the business on accessibility needs has been admirable, with a view of slowly building up the knowledge-base after gauging where the different teams were at, and working closely to support everyone in improving internal processes. I was able to collaborate with Rodrigo on both tooling and reviewing proposed roadmaps for future product and process improvements. He was always open to other peoples thoughts and it was great to be able to discuss these improvements and work alongside Rodrigo doing so. Through all of this I have personally learned a lot about different user needs, factoring it in to my own approach to my work as well as brain-storming with my team how to incorporate it into our wider process. I believe this work has allowed us to improve our products for everyone, ensuring different needs are met and making our websites more accessible. I think the biggest win has been how accessibility now sits at the forefront of the team's mind during planning and review sessions, as well as built-in to many of our shared website components. To me, that's a big ripple effect for one person to have on a company. Rodrigo would be a great asset for any team and I have no doubt that the impact he would have on any team would be a positive one.

I was a managing lead for accessibility at Square Enix when we hired Rodrigo as an Accessibility Specialist. He is not only a digital accessibility expert and outstanding team member, he is also extremely proactive and a very fast-learner. His great communication skills are also key to the important advocacy and educational layer of our field. He's since grew as a respected accessibility specialist and manager within the games industry, and would love to work with him again at any time. If you're looking to push accessibility in your games, websites or digital products… Rodrigo should be first on your mind.

Rodrigo has had a significant influence on shaping the way accessibility is approached throughout our web development team. He was proactive in sharing his extensive knowledge about the needs of accessible users, which personally impacted the way I test websites by introducing me to new tools, user perspectives, and best practices. Rodrigo has been very open-minded to other viewpoints while maintaining a strong sense of practicality. I also appreciate how approachable he was, his enthusiasm truly shines through in discussions. He has undeniable passion for what he does along with the skills and knowledge to back it up, I'm confident that he would be an exceptional addition to any team.

I have had the pleasure of working with Rodrigo on several Equal Entry projects. For Equal Entry directly I got to see his designer skills and as we worked on client projects his accessibility testing skills. Rodrigo is professional, easy to work with, takes feedback well and brings great skills to the table. I always look forward to projects we are on together.
