"Meder is a computer geek with great love for exploration of new things" is a short version of whatever follows below... =)

Born in USSR and being a citizen of Kyrgyzstan, Meder has spent a year somewhere deep in the woods of Missouri as an exchange student before getting his B.S. in software engineering from American University - Central Asia in 2004.

Meder currently works for KPMG Singapore doing ethical hacking. Whenever not geeking out in front of his latop, he enjoys rockclimbing, cycling, reading and other, not-as-exciting-
as-programming activities. Meder likes singing very much, the only problem is that he is the only person who can stand this so-called singing.

In fall 2004, Meder studied Mandarin in Taiwan and is proud to claim the ability to say "wo yao chi fan" and "ni hen piao liang" phrases.

It was during his stay in Taipei that he got exposed to the ORIENTED Happy Hours. Fascinated with ORIENTED's worldwide efforts, Meder looks forward to the opportunity of heading the team in Singapore and building the ORIENTED community there.
