About Kevin Naughton Jr.

Kevin Naughton Jr. is a former Google software engineer and content creator who now builds Ferryman, an automatic social media cross-posting and scheduling tool. Ferryman watches for new posts on a creator's main platform and redistributes them to destinations such as X, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, Substack, YouTube, TikTok and Discord, handling each platform's formatting.

He built Ferryman because he was tired of copying posts between platforms by hand, and runs it as a one-person project: he writes every feature, handles support and uses it daily to distribute his own content to his large audience.
