Portrait of Chris Hendricks

Hi, I'm Chris.

I build technology, and I have an ADHD brain that doesn't always cooperate. deadlocked.life is where I write about both, and about the times they get stuck waiting on each other.

You'll find posts on the systems I use to get things done, what I've learned from public safety, where AI actually helps (and where it doesn't), and the everyday life in between.

What I write about

  • Tech & ADHD Systems, tools and workarounds for a brain that runs on interrupts.
  • Public Safety Building software for the people who respond on our worst days.
  • AI Where AI actually helps, where it doesn't, and how to tell the difference.
  • Life Everything else: family, habits, dishes and the dopamine math.
