Muvaffak Onuş is a founder and seasoned cloud-native engineer with 10 years of experience building developer platforms, infrastructure, and scalable automation. He led Crossplane and provider efforts at Upbound—driving provider generation (Terrajet/Upjet), API standardization and AWS/GCP/Azure coverage—and was an emeritus maintainer of Crossplane on GitHub. At QA Wolf he built sandbox orchestration that scaled to millions of monthly playgrounds and founded the mobile testing engineering team, later leading mobile testing infrastructure and AI integrations. His open-source contributions include improving AWS Controllers for Kubernetes code generation and refactoring Crossplane AWS provider internals, demonstrating deep expertise in Kubernetes operators, generators and CI/CD for private repos. Based in Istanbul, he blends product-facing startup leadership with low-level cloud engineering, and quietly scores wins like shaving significant runtime/cost from production ML pipelines during an earlier internship. Currently building a stealth startup and extensions to cloud sandboxes to enable native dev environments across tools like Xcode and Game Dev.
