About Simon Tan » Undergraduate at UC Berkeley

I'm a not-so-average Berkeley student pursuing the following ridiculously long-winded degrees:

• Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a Minor in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research
• Masters of Science in Computer Science with an emphasis in Graphics and Human-Computer Interaction

I consider myself affiliated with the following on-campus organizations:

• Berkeley Institute of Design
• RSSP-IT (formerly Residential Computing)

I'm a web applications programmer who believes in the power of a humane interface and the significance of design. For more about who I am and what I'm into, I believe my Statement of Purpose [pdf] explains all you might care to know.
