Senior🎓
Top SchoolWeston Smith is a Principal Artificial Intelligence Engineer based in the Greater Seattle Area with 8+ years building production-grade AI and robotics systems for defense and industry. He brings deep computer vision and robotics expertise from roles at Niagara Bottling, Amazon, and the U.S. Army CCDC Ground Vehicle Systems Center, where he developed autonomous ground vehicle capabilities. Trained in self-driving and autonomous flight engineering through Udacity and a magna cum laude CS graduate, he combines rigorous academic grounding with hands-on systems engineering. Weston has practical experience moving research into production—implementing standards-driven web-integrations at NIST and rapid robotics solutions at scale—making him adept at delivering robust, mission-focused AI products. An unnerving attention to operational constraints and DoD-grade reliability distinguishes his approach to applied perception and autonomy.
