Summary
Drew Pellitieri is a multidisciplinary technologist and maker with a decade of experience bridging software engineering and hands-on fabrication. He spent six years advancing healthcare and cybersecurity projects as a senior software engineer at MITRE after earning an M.S. in Computer Engineering from Boston University, with a focus on full-stack and React-driven front-end work, DevOps, and systems automation. Since 2022 he has run Off Belay Artificer LLC, an end-to-end design-build studio producing custom furniture and art that combines parametric 3D design, large-format CNC work, traditional hand-tool craft, and responsibly sourced milling. Comfortable as a full-time remote contributor, he pairs disciplined engineering practices with physical prototyping, turning digital designs into production-ready objects. Based in Fort Collins, CO, he balances technical problem solving with outdoor pursuits like climbing and mountaineering, an ethos that surfaces in the adventurous, offbeat character of his work. His GitHub and portfolio showcase both software contributions and a tactile approach to product realization, reflecting a rare blend of code-first thinking and shop-floor execution.
