Biography

Om Namah Shivaya. My name is Gogul Ilango. I was born in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. I'm currently residing at Greater Bengaluru Area, Karnataka, India.

I work as a Principal Software Engineer with specialization on Software Development and Artificial Intelligence for SOC Physical Design at Cadence R&D. My technical interest lies at the intersection of System on Chip (SOC) design, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Full-Stack Web Development.

I'm an ardent follower of Lord Shiva. I love to talk about fascinating topics such as astronomy, music, sports, travel and technology. I'm deeply passionate about music and you can listen to my contributions here.

As I love front-end web developement, I started designing and developing this website when I was doing my masters degree. In this website, you will find collection of my thoughts, notes, tutorials, resources and ideas based on my experience in technology and education. I myself still learn about the technical topics that I write here so that I get a clear understanding of it. I do this mainly during my free time because


  • It helps me learn these topics better by making me read, write and evaluate myself first before sharing it here.
  • It provides me a chance to organize my technical interests so that I can refer to it later.
  • It gives me a chance to share my knowledge with the world where it might help someone somewhere.
