About
I’m Triston Smith, a full-stack software engineer and AI/automation specialist with 4+ years of experience shipping production features in Laravel/Vue and building operational AI pipelines for industrial workflows. At DSQ Technology, I owned and delivered a production operator platform end-to-end—covering the web UI, background job processing, and the data model inside a multi-tenant environment—while also leading pioneer initiatives and integrations with real-world hardware and telemetry.
I’m especially focused on practical IoT-to-webhook event architecture, durable pipeline state (including debounce and failure handling), and production LLM ops like retries, fallbacks, cost tracking, and evaluation harnesses against messy inputs. I enjoy turning sensor signals into automation that reduces manual work (like maintenance and fullness-triggered workflows), and I’m now available for part-time or contract engagements where existing PHP/Python systems need typed API extension, device/webhook pipelines, or agentic automation.

Work experience
Owned and shipped the operator-facing platform for industrial waste-compactor monitoring, including fleet overview UI, fullness monitoring, Autopilot configuration, and monthly impact reporting using Laravel + Inertia + Vue 3. Designed and implemented end-to-end hardware webhook ingestion for tilt sensors with tenant-scoped migrations, debounce logic, expected-vs-observed projections, and live dashboarding. Built a Python service using Gemini API for sensor signal denoising with JSON parsing, retry/backoff, model fallback, token-cost tracking, and a DeepEval-based evaluation harness. Integrated Particle IoT telemetry via Laravel background jobs with failure-state handling. Implemented sensor-driven work-order automation (Autopilot) with duplicate-open guards, reducing manual haul-check overhead. Added Twilio SMS integration with client interface, webhook handling, and opt-in tracking; maintained PHPUnit tests covering jobs and UI.
Delivered full-stack features for client-facing platforms using Vue.js, Tailwind, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Laravel. Developed and optimized RESTful APIs and backend services supporting automation workflows in waste and recycling management. Implemented database models and queries to accurately and efficiently handle sensor and client data. Built responsive front-end interfaces to improve usability and streamline client interactions.
