Sumanth Kolar In remembrance

“Sumanth is one of those engineering leaders who balances technology and business concerns very well. As the manager for StumbleUpon's Applied Research group, he focussed on applying cool machine learning techniques towards solving user problems, all while being relentlessly data driven and experimenting with different algorithms. At the same time, he encouraged innovation within the team with some forward-thinking research oriented projects. He would be a great asset for any team looking for an expert in recommender systems and information retrieval.”
