About Me

Hi! I'm Muthukumar Thevar (Mak), a Senior Technical Lead and .NET Architect with over 15 years of experience building robust, scalable enterprise applications. I work mostly with Microsoft technologies like .NET Core, Azure, microservices, and cloud-native architecture, and I enjoy leading engineering teams and mentoring developers.

My Story

I was born and raised in Mumbai in a middle-class family, with roots in Tamil Nadu. My journey into tech started during my B.Sc. in Computer Science at Mumbai University, when I got curious about how operating systems like Windows XP worked and how processes started, ran, and exited. That curiosity soon turned into experimenting with code: small VB6 executables, folder-locking tools, YouTube downloaders, and simple file encryption apps.

At the same time, I was drawn to the web. I taught myself HTML and CSS, built small websites, and later moved on to dynamic pages with PHP. I even freelanced, helping small businesses go online. But over time, I realized my true passion was in backend development.

My professional journey began as a web developer working on ASP.NET, which marked the beginning of my long-standing relationship with .NET technologies. Since then, I’ve consistently built scalable applications and services in .NET, growing deeper into backend systems, cloud solutions, and clean architecture.

Outside of coding, music has always been a passion. Back in college, I dreamt of becoming a DJ and spent hours learning about beats, frequencies, and rhythm. That same feel for patterns and flow found a new home in programming, where solving a problem often feels a lot like making music.

Today, my curiosity keeps evolving. Just as I once moved from music to coding, I'm now exploring Artificial Intelligence and bringing the same energy to AI development that got me started years ago.
