A self-taught builder, paving the roads others build on
Dolu Obatusin — engineer & saxophonist
I build the foundations other people build on. I taught myself into every domain I've worked in — biomedical engineering, cloud, then AI — and I'm now doing it on two fronts: platform architecture at JPMorgan Chase, and ClefScape, a product I built and ship for self-taught musicians like me.
Below is the arc — three chapters, one throughline.
