Reese Allen

Vice President/Project Manager

Reese wears many hats at Perellion as VP, co-founder, head of HR, and project manager. He even steps in on occasion as a mechanical engineer to help solve challenging problems. He graduated with his bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington and has been working in the industry since 2007. He is named on six patents related to additive manufacturing, as well as one patent related to automated drilling and fastening for aerospace applications.

Reese’s favorite part of his job is designing and building complex mechanical systems, which he loves doing both inside and out of work. True to that passion, Reese was an early adopter of hobbyist 3D printing and cobbled together his first printer in 2011. Although he no longer has the original 2011 printer, its parts have been repurposed into a better one that's still in use today.

Reese also grows his own chili peppers, for which he designed a hydroponic garden system that runs in his kitchen year-round. He also enjoys road cycling and electric unicycle riding, and his GeoGuessr-related facts often alarm his coworkers.
