Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCraig Wilhite is a Senior Product Manager with 11 years of experience designing and shipping cloud-native platforms and developer-facing infrastructure, currently helping build Dropbox’s internal platform for runtime, APIs, orchestration, and services. He previously led product at Upbound, commercializing Crossplane-based tooling to let organizations automate app and infrastructure lifecycles, and before that drove container and Hyper-V platform efforts at Microsoft to help customers migrate and run workloads on Kubernetes and Azure. Craig blends hands-on engineering experience—contributing code and DevOps fixes to Microsoft virtualization and Linux VM tooling—with product leadership across roadmap, pricing, and go-to-market. He’s equally comfortable engaging first-party customers and unblocking cross-team execution as he is authoring Day‑0 to Day‑2 platform experiences. A Purdue CS graduate and co-inventor on a medical diagnostics patent, he brings a curiosity for practical, measurable solutions that empower engineers and end users alike.
