who/ what choice

[optimistic pessimist]

Hi, everyone!
I'd like to aske someone who speaks English as their native language.

You made me [what/ who] I am now.

In the sentence above, I know "what" is the correct choice, but is "who" totally wrong? It seems to me "who" also makes sense even if the meaning can be different.

Thank you

You made me what I am now.

probably sounds more meaningful. It means 'you have been a great influence to my character' or 'you have contributed to my achieving the present position.'
