Shedrack Akintayo
Senior Technical Writer · DevOps Engineer · CNCF Ambassador · UK Global Talent
I build documentation that works for two audiences at once: developers reading it, and AI agents retrieving from it. With Kontinuo, I built a local-first MCP continuity layer that carries evidence-backed work across tools and sessions.
Off the keyboard, I'm a dedicated athlete, cross-training in strength, Muay Thai, running, and football. I approach sports with the same discipline I bring to engineering.

Writing
On AI, DevOps, cloud native and technical writing.
Building AI Agents That Refuse to Guess
An agent that can take action is not automatically safe to trust. These are the patterns I use to make coding agents inspect first, ask for intent, gate side effects, and stop when they lack confirmation.
How I Self-Host GBrain for Multiple Coding Agents
I moved GBrain from a local PGLite database to a shared PostgreSQL service in my homelab so several coding agents can use the same persistent memory.
Building a Simple MCP Sandbox for My Poke Assistant
How I built a small Go MCP server for Poke, isolated it with Docker, exposed it through Traefik and Tailscale Funnel, and kept command and file access constrained to my development workspace.
Best Practices for Writing Agent Skills
I've been writing agent skills for Claude Code, these are the patterns that held up: thin SKILL.md files, deterministic scripts for the boring parts, progressive disclosure, and being disciplined about how many skills you leave enabled.
Moving Codex App Chat History and Context to a New Mac
I recently migrated local Codex app chat history from one Mac to another and noted the caveats along the way. This guide captures the simplest working approach.
