As a reporter, Kumparak has broken hundreds of technology news stories,[4] from word of ongoing venture capital deals to details of unannounced smartphones.

He was an early proponent of the concept of “liveblogging”,[5] in which an outlet covers an ongoing news event through a series of rolling textual updates.

He regularly appears on stage as an interviewer at TechCrunch's Disrupt conference, and as a judge in its regional startup pitch contests.
