John Wana is a seasoned engineering leader with 13 years of documented experience and a deep history spanning early Microsoft engineering to senior leadership at Uber and now VP of Engineering at Microsoft, driving Microsoft 365 Core Experiences. He has built and scaled critical consumer and platform systems—from signup/login and messaging stacks at Uber to product incubations in Office Labs—and combines hands-on technical fluency with executive-level strategic delivery. As a founder (Onobe and several consumer app ventures) he has shipped high-traffic mobile and backend services, including a consumer app ecosystem that sustained over 100k requests/day and an Async Objective-C library used in open-source tooling. Colocated in Oakland, he brings startup grit and enterprise rigor, comfortable oscillating between product incubation and large-scale operations. Known for turning prototypes into production-grade services, he blends product sensibility with measurable impact on growth, reliability, and user funnels.
