This is where
to start.

I'm a licensed bridge engineer (PE, M.ASCE) based in Rapid City, South Dakota. I grew up in the coffee region of Colombia — my family has farmed the same land for over 50 years. I came to the US for engineering and stayed for the work.

I started Planning Engineered because I couldn't find anyone in the stationery and analog planning space who came at it from an engineering perspective — systematic, specific, and skeptical of anything that doesn't actually work in a demanding professional life.

Every morning I pour a cup of Ríos de Oro coffee (our family import), open my notebook, and plan the day. That ritual is what this whole thing is built around.
