Hi, my name is Karl.
I write, speak, and help build startups. After 8 years as a CTO in Chicago, I founded Draft.dev to help software engineering blogs produce high-quality technical content.

If you like this blog, I send out a weekly newsletter on startups, technology, and leadership called The Portable CTO.
