Arjun Roychowdhury’s Specialties:

Innovating in Mobile Technologies and radical service conceptualization. Starting new teams to tackle new business areas and leading it to success.*Used* to be a Kung-fu black-belt at SIP/VoIP/Web 20 anchored applications. These days I specialize in bringing concepts to reality that leverage one or more of these underlying technologies (In other words, I forgot what the 7th 8-bit byte of a SIP session initiation says... Oh wait, thats an 0x20)
