About
autodhil.com started in 2016 as a technology and automotive blog. I reviewed what I could get my hands on, and I measured before I praised.
The blog stopped at the end of 2018. One review survived. So did the name: it is still the package name on apps I ship.
In between I became an engineer. From 2018 I studied at the University and went deeper into technology than the blog ever had. From 2020 to now I have learned by building: study and practice side by side, one project after another.
I keep diving because of the Dunning–Kruger effect: the less you know of a field, the surer of yourself you feel. Going deeper is how I stay honest about what I don't know yet.
What I care about pulls two ways: precision and craft on one side, a large ambition reached slowly on the other. I try to keep both.
How I work: measure first, report the honest number, write down what I got wrong. And I judge the work by its impact, not its delivery: a shipped product counts for what it changes for the people who use it. This site documents the work. It does not perform it.

Writing
The Strange Relationship Between Silence and Luck
On ambition, failure, faith, and the things that seem to happen when I stop talking about them.
How I Cut Cold Start Time in Half and Found a Config Bug Hiding Behind ItA writeup of a startup-performance investigation that turned into a configuration bug fix — and then, while writing it up, into three more.
A Wish, In Three Parts — Part 3: None of It Was Mine to KeepA personal reflection on losing everything I had written, and what it taught me about ownership.
A Wish, In Three Parts — Part 2: I Wasn’t Trying to Win AnymoreA personal reflection on the difference between effort spent to prove something, and effort spent because I wanted to.
A Wish, In Three Parts — Part 1: Careful What You Wish ForA personal reflection on being pushed into a competition I never wanted, and what happens when a wish is granted in a shape you did not ask for.
Thirty Out of a Hundred Did Not Tell the Whole StoryA personal reflection on the teachers who saw more than a number — and why another child’s future should not depend on the same luck.
A Mistake Is Not Always the End of the StoryA personal reflection on mistakes, leadership, and the kind of response that helps people become better instead of smaller.
Uploading Was Easy. Releasing Was the Hard Part.A practical reflection for developers who are moving from “I can upload the app myself” to “I need to release safely for real users.”
Unfinished GriefThere are stories we never get to finish.

The blog began in 2016. Of its posts, this review survived.
