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.
On the side, I run CFP Land, an automated newsletter that goes out to almost 2,000 conference speakers every week.
If you like this blog, I send out a weekly newsletter on startups, technology, and leadership called The Portable CTO.
