Agent Factory · Decision Intelligence

Workday Decision Intelligence is a new product line, not an add-on to an existing product: an AI-native platform where finance teams ask questions, model scenarios, and commit decisions across governed data sources including Adaptive Planning, Prism, Snowflake, and uploaded spreadsheets. Customers buy it in its own right. I connected Adaptive Planning reports directly into the product, so users no longer export a report and re-upload it as a file to analyze it, and I contributed to the agent skills that integrate Adaptive Planning on both sides: hypercube data queries for reads, and data write-backs to planning sheets for writes. I also own performance testing and end-to-end tracing across services and LangSmith.

Adaptive Planning · Planning Agent

On the team that built the Planning Agent for Adaptive Planning, a LangGraph agent that shipped to GA in Mar 2026 and now has 1,300+ customer accounts with recorded usage (Aug 2026). I contributed to its data exploration, variance analysis, scenario planning, and contextual help skills (all four gated at a 95% eval pass before release), designed the MCP client-server architecture with progressive tool disclosure and subagents to cut context bloat, and built the elicitation framework that rendered planning widgets inline within chat.

Adaptive Planning · Full-Stack Engineering

Built a portable report viewer that ships as a widget across multiple applications, with 544 instances and 12,760+ reports added in its first three months. Also replaced a manual report workflow with a cron-based scheduler for snapshot generation and notifications, used across 6,500+ enterprise customers, and migrated legacy Tapestry/JS pages to React with REST API backends.
