We started working with Uma around a year back and since then we have been speaking almost every week. Slowly we developed a strong mutual respect and started enjoying our time together. We worked through several optimizations, debugged several issues together, worked on learning new stuff and make a better product. Uma was very dedicated to his work and always enthusiastic about product improvement.
Working closely and regularly we started feeling Uma as a part of our team, it is a big void that we feel every Tuesday. It is difficult to delete the weekly meeting request. You would always be missed Uma!

I got to know Uma as partner of Loqate’s over the past 12 months. Uma worked with us on a weekly basis, tackling a number of challenges, big & small, and through this I got to know Uma well professionally. It was clear that Uma had a sharp mind and strong work ethic, but more importantly a strong sense of dedication to his craft. He was a joy to work with and had an amazing attitude that was unique and refreshing. He will be greatly missed.

First met Uma in the restroom before I was about to interview with Loqate. He said hi and I just smiled back thinking "who says hi to people in the restroom?"...little did I know he was one of the interviewers afterwards. He asked me what I know about the algorithms behind the Google search engine and it gave me an internal meltdown.

Working with Uma over the past few years was a great pleasure, I'll miss his late night Slack messages and sometimes panicked emails...

Umashankar was a beloved classmate during our undergrad engineering days at P.S.G. College of Technology back in India between 1984-88. We are all terribly shocked to hear of his sudden passing at such an early age.

All of us - his college mates, will remember him as a gentleman and a scholar. In fact, everyone knew and referred to him respectfully by his nickname - "Vathy" - which translates to "Teach(er)".

This was because he was the one person everyone in college knew they could seek out if they ever needed help understanding something - anything for that matter. Not only did he have an exceptional grasp of the fundamentals - particularly math, he was someone who would readily make time to help anyone who approached him.

As his capstone project mate in the final year of our undergraduate engineering studies, I was a big beneficiary of his largesse and had the distinct honor of witnessing his genius up close.

All of his college mates will remember him as a gentle, endearing soul, with that wry wit. He was a good friend to all - always helpful, patient and generous and remained extremely dedicated to his family till the end.

I will miss him but will forever fondly cherish the memories of the time spent with him - like the time we shared sitting in a boat in the middle of Ooty lake, India listening to Phil Collins and Genesis on a walkman.

R.I.P. my dear friend.

I had a pleasure of working with Uma from 2013-2016.

Uma was a dedicated professional who always stayed "calm" despite any storms that we may be sailing through or going against. He used to often walk into my office to understand what customers and partners really need, so to prioritize and align his efforts in development with his team. Always trying to do the right thing.

He used to also tell me about his mother's cooking and how everything she cooks at home when he visits are healthy and delicious with the biggest smile on his face.

Uma will always be remembered and missed.

The first time I met Uma was when I interviewed him many years ago at a Starbucks in Sunnyvale. His enthusiasm for technology shone through, and that stayed with him all the years that we worked together. He always cared, about the people he worked with and the work he produced. Such a shock, you were taken far too soon Uma.
