Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolReece Humphreys is an aerospace engineer and software developer blending a decade of distributed-systems experience with hands-on spacecraft guidance, navigation, and control work. Currently a graduate student at CU Boulder and a Spacecraft Engineering Intern at Varda, he contributes to the Basilisk astrodynamics framework and has built modular simulation infrastructure, CI/CD-integrated Monte Carlo tooling, and processor-in-the-loop testbeds for flight algorithms. His background spans full-stack and DevOps roles—migrating iOS demos to SwiftUI, building telemetry pipelines with InfluxDB/Grafana, and authoring Rust validation for an IDL compiler—so he bridges research and production reliably. He’s pursued novel experiments from vacuum-chamber electroadhesive docking to hypersonic anomaly detection, and he aims to design spacecraft for bold, exploratory missions beyond LEO.
