Kumaran isn't just an excellent Engineering Manager. He is an outstanding Teacher, Mentor, and Manager of People. To say that I enjoyed reporting to Kumaran is an understatement. Kumaran has developed me greatly by helping me set specific goals, and helped me create a path to success with numerous challenges I faced. His coaching and teachings far extend just engineering productivity. He manages to develop you professionally and technically, while also holistically coaching you to reach your potential as a human, not just an engineer. He is empathetic, level-headed, strategic, and makes sure you know he is in your corner. The technical skills required to be a strategic Engineering Manager are hard enough to acquire. Somehow Kumaran has not only demonstrated this skillset, but shown a true understanding of how to motivate people and encourage them to be their best selves inside and outside of work in a 1-on-1 setting.

Kumaran's management style was stimulating and communicative. Working under him as an intern never left me over- nor underwhelmed. He seemed to always understand my limits but was never shy about encouraging me to push them. Kumaran made himself constantly available for clarification, and would meet at the drop of a hat when I needed guidance. It was a wonderful experience working and learning under your leadership, Kumaran - thanks for all of your help in navigating challenging dynamics!
