Karl L. Hughes

Hi, my name is Karl.

I write, speak, and help build startups. After 8 years working for early-stage startups in Chicago, I founded Draft where I help software engineering blogs create high-quality technical content.

I also run CFP Land, where I've built an automated newsletter that goes out to 2,000+ technology conference speakers every week.

If you like this blog, I send out a regular newsletter for startup founders and engineers called The Portable CTO. Every week, I include a handful of tips, tools, and advice that I discover as well as anything new I've written across the internet.

📖 Thanks for reading!
