Hello, I’m
I build software and investigate how it works.
I’m building The Middleman, a digital-product marketplace for Nigerian buyers and creators. Along the way, I’m learning to deploy, debug, and keep software running.
I build with AI as a companion — to explore ideas, question decisions, and review my work.

Projects
One main product, two experiments,
and an idea I’m exploring.
The main project · In development
Buy a digital product. Keep the transaction protected.
I’m building a marketplace for Nigerian buyers and creators, with escrow around ready-made digital products.
My work covers the interface, accounts, database, payments, and deployment. This is where I put what I’m learning into practice.

I’m exploring a short, adaptive check before a course. The idea is to understand what a learner knows and suggest a useful starting point, rather than rely on a self-rating.

Which actions should an assistant be allowed to take?
A Python assistant I’m building with local tools and cloud models. I’m working out how to handle permissions before it takes an action.

What happens when the models disagree?
Different AI models answer independently, discuss their ideas, and revise them. I’m interested in what changes between the first answer and the discussion, without forcing agreement.

I’m Samuel Oguntona, an Information Systems student at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
Building a product has pulled me into databases, authentication, payments, deployment, and Linux. That’s what draws me towards cloud engineering: knowing how the pieces fit, and being able to follow a problem when they don’t.
I’m also beginning to explore AI evaluation and safety. Working on assistants and model discussions has made me curious about reliability, disagreement, and where people should stay involved.
Outside the projects, I enjoy music, space and science, and trying things that are new to me.

Build log
A few dated notes from working on this portfolio.
Reworked the portfolio around a portrait-led reference, added a dark-screen introduction, and kept the projects and green terminal together on one page.
Brought back the terminal and build log. Reworked the hero and gave the projects room to show what they do.
Connected the cloud, Linux, security and AI experiments in the portfolio’s earlier Explorer map.
Built the interactive terminal, request-flow walkthrough and agent architecture demonstrations.
Get in touch
I’m open to internships, collaborations, and learning from people working in software, cloud, or AI safety. Say hello.
