Todd has 35+ years of hands-on, down and dirty engineering experience with a career focus on 3D computer graphics (chip design, hardware, algorithms, large-dataset visualization, and graphics production) and Internet-based technology development. While he’s held many senior management roles (at VP or CTO level), he has always enjoyed the tinkering,
prototyping and problem solving that results in discovery or new product development.
Todd has worked at IBM’s Watson Research Center (Research Staff Member, 5 years), The Analytic Sciences Corporation (TASC, 7 years), was CTO at Peregrine Publishers (acquired by Pearson Education), Pearson Education, Voter.com, BiddingForGood.com, and VP of Engineering at Delphi Internet and Avenue100 Media (a Washington Post Company). Now in a consulting role (Principal, Rodgers Research Group, LLC), he has stepped in to help a half a dozen Boston-area start-ups to surmount technical and organizational challenges.
Todd is an avid sailor (35+ foot mono-hulls), an FCC licensed, Extra Class, Amateur Radio (“Ham Radio”) operator and recently learned to use production-grade machine shop tools (vertical milling machines, CNC and lathes). He continues to tinker with electronics, radio communications and computing, using the Raspberry Pi, and Arduino platforms, Unix-based cloud-computing resources (AWS), digital radio communications (HF packet, XBee, and Internet-based communications technologies) to have fun and learn.
