Summary
Justin Bellucci is a Senior Director of Engineering based in Boulder, Colorado with a decade of experience blending research-driven problem solving and hands-on product development. He has led engineering teams at Privateer Space while previously co-founding a university spin-off that built commercial smart-hive and autonomous apiary systems, demonstrating both embedded and cloud-enabled product delivery. Justin’s background in building systems engineering and energy modeling informs a practical approach to simulation, sensor fusion and control systems, and he’s recently deepened his expertise through focused ML, deep learning, sensor fusion, and C++ coursework. He’s comfortable taking projects from research concept to deployed ML workflows on AWS, leveraging PyTorch, OpenCV and Unscented Kalman Filters for perception and state estimation. Beyond leadership, he combines grant-winning entrepreneurial experience with academic teaching, which helps him translate complex technical topics into actionable roadmaps for teams. Colleagues would describe him as a creative, impact-oriented engineer who bridges academic rigor and product-focused execution.
