Building The Middleman. I like figuring out how software works (and why it breaks). Learning cloud, Linux & AI evaluation. IS student @ OAU.

Hey, I’m Bukssamuel👋
I learn tech by building things and following the rabbit holes they create.
Currently building The Middleman while exploring software, infrastructure & AI.
Think of this account as my public tech notebook. 🧭

@adastroworld @Muse @agentmail @CloudflareDev Really ?
Can you put my through ?

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

@Muse Bring muse to Nigeria 😭

@sheis_tosin @Cloudflare @grok @ChatGPT Blame PHCN and Cloud fare 🥲

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

Three days. THREE DAYS. 😭

All because @Cloudflare couldn't fetch my GitHub repo.

I went from thinking it was a 5-minute fix to having @grok and @ChatGPT join my deployment committee. 😂

At some point, I started wondering if their free plans had a daily allowance for my wahala.

Eventually, we got it working. The website is finally live!

One deployment, three days, and several lessons I didn't ask for.

@bot Nice 😈

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

@grok @Cloudflare @ChatGPT I won't spil 🫣l . We are testing the site before the launch 😌

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

@sheis_tosin So real

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

@dev_TEMITAYO I love this

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

@Doore_Imperial @DONJAZZY Nice one, bro! I'd love to connect and learn from your journey. Hopefully, we can share ideas and grow together. 🤝

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

@benmathew Hi Ben! Thanks again for your interest.

As promised, here's the application form. It will help us understand your interests, skills, experience and how you might contribute to the initiative.

Looking forward to learning more about you! 🚀

Looking for builders to join an early-stage open-source AI startup!

I'm exploring an idea around building a modular AI workplace where users can choose the capabilities they need — AI chat, image generation, coding, research and more — without being locked into one ecosystem.

I'm looking to connect with developers, AI enthusiasts, designers, researchers and other builders who are interested in helping bring this idea to life.

I'm particularly interested in people who:

Can commit around 5–10 hours weekly.
Have relevant technical, product, research or design skills.
Are willing to contribute their time, skills and resources.
Are open to sharing the cost of legitimate AI tool subscriptions or team seats where necessary, making access more affordable for everyone.
Are comfortable collaborating remotely with an international team.

Are beginners welcome? Absolutely!

I'm a student myself, and I'm also learning as I build. You don't have to be an expert or have years of experience.

However, I would love to see something you've worked on, built, experimented with or contributed to. It could be a personal project, GitHub repository, design, experiment or anything that demonstrates your interest and ability to learn.

I'm looking for people who are serious about contributing, willing to learn, share resources and grow together.

This is an early-stage initiative, and I'm currently gathering interest before screening and selecting a small founding team of 4–6 people.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to reply or send me a DM. I'd love to connect.

Let's build something useful together.

🚀 What if we built our own AI workspace?

Not just another AI chatbot. Not another expensive subscription. Something more flexible, accessible and built around what people actually need.

That's the idea we're exploring, and I'd love to bring a few good minds together to make it happen.

I'm looking to assemble a small, globally distributed founding team of 4–6 curious minds, builders and problem-solvers who are excited about AI and want to contribute to something from its earliest stages.

What are we looking for?

💻 Software developers and builders
🤖 AI enthusiasts and integration engineers
🎨 UI/UX and product designers
☁️ Cloud, infrastructure and DevOps enthusiasts
🔬 AI researchers and experimenters
🧪 Testers, thinkers and people who enjoy figuring things out
And here's the interesting part: you don't have to be an expert to apply.
Whether you're experienced or still finding your feet in tech, there's room to demonstrate what you can bring to the table.
We're more interested in your curiosity, initiative, consistency and willingness to learn than a long list of certificates.
A few things to know before jumping in:
🌍 Remote and internationally collaborative.
⏳ Approximately 5–10 hours of contribution per week.
🔓 Open-source project direction.
🤝 A collaborative environment where ideas, experimentation and feedback matter.

This is an early-stage, currently unpaid initiative. Compensation and ownership arrangements are yet to be established, and we're not promising employment or equity.

We're not expecting everyone to know everything. That's partly why we're bringing a team together.

We want to learn, experiment, challenge ideas, make mistakes, improve and, most importantly, build and ship.

If that sounds like your kind of environment, we'd love to hear from you.

📝 Apply here: https://t.co/ZitlTruB9c
Let's see what we can build together. 🚀

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

Hi! Thanks for reaching out and showing interest in the project. Ben

We're exploring an open-source, modular AI workplace and assembling a small team to help validate the idea, shape the product and work towards an initial version.

I'd be happy to learn more about your interests and what you could contribute.

I will get back to you soon.

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

What if tech builders from 195 countries could connect, share ideas, learn from one another, collaborate on projects, and build genuine friendships?

Not another tech organization. Not another networking group.

Just a global space where people passionate about technology can connect beyond borders, share what they're building, exchange opportunities, and grow together.

I've been thinking about this idea.

Global Tech Circle.

195 Countries. One Community. 🌍

Just created and tested my first AWS Lambda function.What stood out: you write the code and AWS runs it only when triggered — no servers to manage. It made the classic serverless pattern clearer (CloudFront + S3 for the frontend, Lambda for the backend).Had some friction figuring out the console and test events, but working through it helped the concept click.#AWS #Serverless #Lambda #CloudComputing #LearningInPublic

I just applied for the #MLHFellowship where I'll get to learn #SoftwareEngineering by doing! https://t.co/98003dRMrG via @MLHacks

Day 1 of my cloud engineering journey: I put a website on AWS S3. ☁️

Simple enough, right?

Then CloudFront introduced me to Access Denied, DNS decided to play hide-and-seek, and I started questioning my life choices.

But we got there! 😂

First cloud project completed. Plenty to learn, plenty to break, and hopefully fewer errors next time.

One step at a time. 🚀

#AWS #CloudEngineering #LearningInPublic

[Oguntona Samuel @bukssamuel25]

I accomplished this . My first ever deployed s3 on AWS My first website deployed on AWS! ☁️

Successfully hosted a static website using Amazon S3 — my first hands-on step into cloud engineering.

Learning by building, one project at a time. More to come!

@purrdoom Hi Lucas ,
Let's say you provide access to your AI. How much would you pay then ?
