Senior🎓
Top SchoolColin Rood is a Senior Product Solutions Engineer with 11 years of experience building and scaling payments and developer-facing products. He blends product management, engineering, and account leadership to ship API-first solutions—most recently driving card issuing, 3D Secure, and instant payout functionality at Adyen and enabling payments at Google-scale. Colin has led API modernization efforts (SOAP to REST), introduced versioning and webhook UIs, and rewrote core issuing resources and documentation to make complex flows accessible to engineers and ops teams. He’s worked directly with market leaders like Netflix, Microsoft, and Google to push authentication boundaries and design industry experiments that shape future standards. Based in San Francisco with a CS and Economics background from UC Santa Barbara, he pairs hands-on technical ownership (including maintaining an official Ruby client) with a customer-focused mindset that catches outages and product gaps before clients do.
