Adaptive Planning @ Workday

Ethan Smith

// about

Software engineer with 5+ years at Workday building AI-powered planning tools and full-stack applications. Currently focused on the Planning Agent, which gives financial planners tools for data exploration, variance analysis, and scenario planning.

Before that, I spent three years modernizing legacy systems, migrating Tapestry/JS pages to React + REST APIs, building report schedulers, and implementing time hierarchy features across the full stack. I studied Computer Science and Business Administration at USC. Outside of work, I'm into backpacking, Broadway, vinyl collecting, baking, and strategy games like Civ and Catan.
