Dolapo is a technical product manager on the AI and Data Science team for Curriculum Associates. As a Mitchell Scholar, he studied Computer Science at Trinity. He graduated from MIT with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a Minor in Music. He served as MIT’s Chapter President of the National Society of Black Engineers and fully funded a cohort of fifteen members to attend Afrotech, a black technology conference in Oakland, for the first time in chapter history. He engaged with local schools to support black youth engagement in STEM. He has served as a Director for the Harvard-MIT COOP, the official bookstore for the Harvard and MIT communities, and a philanthropic organization supporting student groups and local initiatives. Dolapo also served as Professional Chair of Chocolate City, a brotherhood of MIT students and alumni who identify with urban culture. He is also jazz guitarist. Dolapo learned about Music Generation, the national music education initiative in Ireland that aims to give every child in Ireland access to the arts. Inspired by Music Generation, Dolapo envisions a future where every child in the US has access to the arts and believes technology is the key to unlocking that future. He began to build technology to democratize access to the creative process through music using programming languages he learned about at MIT.
