About Sendil Balan Palanivel

Programming enthusiast with experience in Software Development and passion for problem solving. I have particular interest in designing an elegant technical architecture, application development, Cloud and Big Data.Working at ZOHO as a software developer helped me to learn and work in various stages of product development, how to get better understanding of my code or somebody else and the role played by each development stage to give a better product.I have always enjoyed solving lots of puzzles and analytical problems. While solving problems I try to come up with my own solution (logic) and check how it is related with the given formula (super fun to find out your logic and formula matching).I believe that extra-curricular activities also play an important role. I play volley ball, badminton for recreation. I have participated in many tournaments in high schools as well as in college. Apart from this, I love playing chess and travelling.
