About Me

Maheshkumar S. Tiwari
Digital Integration Architect | Microsoft MVP (2014–2017)
📍 Pune, India

I’m Maheshkumar S. Tiwari — a Digital Integration Architect, Enterprise Integration Strategist, and 4× Microsoft Integration MVP with over 17 years of experience designing and leading mission-critical integration and cloud transformation programs for global enterprises.

My career has been centered around one belief:

Integration is not about connecting systems.
It is about connecting business strategy with technology reality.

I specialize in architecting secure, scalable, and future-ready integration ecosystems using Microsoft Azure Integration Services, including Logic Apps, API Management, Service Bus, Azure Functions, and Data Factory — alongside deep expertise in BizTalk Server and hybrid enterprise platforms.

Over the years, I’ve led large-scale digital transformation initiatives across Insurance, Manufacturing, Oil & Gas, Retail, and Hospitality sectors — designing API-led, event-driven, and microservices-based architectures that enable agility, resilience, and intelligent automation.

Beyond implementation, my focus lies in:

• Defining enterprise integration strategy
• Governing API and event-driven ecosystems
• Modernizing legacy platforms
• Enabling cloud-native and hybrid architectures
• Mentoring architects and integration teams

As a former Microsoft Integration MVP and an active community contributor, I use Tech-Findings as a platform to share real-world architectural insights, design trade-offs, integration patterns, and lessons learned from complex enterprise programs.

Because architecture is not theory — it is responsibility.

If you're passionate about Azure Integration, Enterprise Architecture, and building resilient digital ecosystems, you’re in the right place.

I’m honored to have received the Microsoft MVP – Integration award for four consecutive years:
🏅 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017
