Utku Zihnioglu

Utku is a serial entrepreneur and technical founder. He co-founded Remotium, an enterprise security company, then solo-founded Webshare, a public data collection platform. Both companies sat at the intersection of infrastructure and scale: systems that had to move large volumes of data reliably, handle failures gracefully, and run unattended without losing records. That background shaped how he thinks about software. The interesting problems are never the happy path. They are retries, rate limits, partial failures, and schema drift.

Across every company he built or worked at, the same problem kept showing up. Teams needed their SaaS tools to stay in sync. Stripe with the CRM. The CRM with the support platform. Billing data with marketing automation. Every team solved it the same way: a Python script, a cron job, a webhook handler, and a prayer that nothing upstream changed. The tools were different. The industries were different. The integration work was identical.

Utku stopped seeing this as a series of one-off engineering tasks and started seeing it as a missing product category. That product became Oneprofile. He co-founded the company with a specific thesis: the data warehouse should not be a prerequisite for keeping your tools in sync. The entire CDP and reverse ETL market assumes you already operate Snowflake or BigQuery. Oneprofile does not. It connects tools directly, syncs bidirectionally, and works for a solo founder on the free tier just as well as it works for a 200-person company on a paid plan.

Utku leads engineering at Oneprofile. He writes the sync engine, designs the connector architecture, and maintains the infrastructure that moves records between customer tools every day. His background building infrastructure companies from scratch is why Oneprofile treats the hard parts — change detection, conflict resolution, retry semantics, schema drift — as first-class features instead of afterthoughts.
