A self-taught builder, paving the roads others build on
Dolu Obatusin — engineer & saxophonist
I started in biomedical engineering, taught myself into cloud and then AI, and now work on platform architecture at JPMorgan Chase. Outside work I build ClefScape, a practice companion for self-taught musicians, because I'm one too: twenty-plus years of saxophone and still learning.
Here's the arc — three chapters, one throughline.
