Stephen T. Smith

President, EquipmentFX | Founder, Agent X™ AI Orchestration System

37 years. 165+ projects. $50M saved from a single client engagement. The equipment industry’s most experienced AI transformation partner.

I’ve spent over 37 years in the operational trenches figuring out how to build successful, equipment-focused enterprise outcomes — from leading OEM and dealer operations to financial services strategy and AI deployment. I started my career at a CAT dealership in 1989, rose to VP/GM of the most profitable Hyster forklift dealership in the US, then left to build what the industry was missing: a technology and AI practice built by someone who has actually run these businesses.

Sebastian Mondragon

Founder & CEO, Particula Tech | Strategic AI Engineering Partner

600+ AI solutions deployed. 450+ clients worldwide. Production-grade AI built from the ground up since 2023.

Sebastian Mondragon built Particula Tech on a single conviction: most AI projects fail because teams treat AI like magic instead of engineering. Since founding the company in 2023, he has overseen the delivery of over 600 AI solutions across 450+ clients worldwide — from enterprise data platforms unifying millions of daily records to healthcare AI infrastructure that cut operational costs by 95%. His approach strips out the hype and installs what works: custom models trained on client data, architectures designed for real-world scale, and systems that ship to production and stay there. Sebastian brings Particula’s engineering-first discipline directly to the EquipmentFX technology stack.

Dinesh Kumar

Co-Founder & CEO, Sedin Technologies (RailsFactory) | Strategic Technology Development Partner

20 years. 850+ applications delivered. 250+ clients across 25 countries. Built from a two-person startup into a 350-person global organization.

Dinesh Kumar co-founded RailsFactory in 2006 with a mission to democratize technology — giving ambitious businesses access to engineering talent and delivery capability that was previously out of reach. Over 20 years, that founding vision became Sedin Technologies: a 350-person global organization with offices across India, Canada, the United States, and Australia, delivering across web, mobile, cloud, enterprise, and AI. From Fortune 500 engagements to fast-growth startups, Sedin’s track record of 850+ applications across 25+ countries speaks to a consistency of execution that most technology firms never reach. Dinesh brings that delivery infrastructure — and 20 years of knowing what breaks in production — directly to the EquipmentFX platform. Their Datakulture division has 60+ data scientists building in AI. Every day.
