From those I’ve worked with

“I so appreciate your perspective and how you hold yourself and others to a high standard. You’ve been instrumental in my growth as an engineer.”

“I have never worked with an engineer that cared as much about their product and end users as you do. I love that about you. You are a true leader. No BS.”

"…the trait I value most in you which is your courage to speak up when something doesn’t make sense in a way that demonstrates you care about the outcome."

“You crush, in our short overlap it is obvious you’re a talented engineer and thought leader.”
