About The Engineering Stack
I’m Kenny Shultz, PE.
I write about AI, software, operations, and the future of AEC professional services from the perspective of an MEP engineer actually trying to implement it.
This is a working journal from inside the real world of engineering practice:
emails, proposals, scope creep, QA/QC, permitting, client expectations, business development, automation, risk, and engineering judgment.
Not AI hype.
Not generic construction tech commentary.
The practical stuff.
What works.
What breaks.
What saves time.
What creates risk.
What still requires a licensed engineer’s judgment.
I also co-host The Blueprint Tour, a podcast about construction, engineering, real estate, business, and the people building the built world.
Episodes live here too, but the publication is bigger than the podcast.
The podcast is the conversation layer.
The essays are the working notes.
The Engineering Stack is for engineers, architects, firm owners, PMs, operators, builders, developers, and software people trying to understand how AI and software will actually change professional services in AEC.
Subscribe if you want practical essays, reading notes, podcast episodes, and behind-the-scenes thinking from someone working through it in real time.
The working notes, not the conference version.
