Abutalib-Barish Namazov
Hey there! My name is Abutalib, but I usually go by Barish in casual settings. I graduated from MIT in May 2024 with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering. Even though I try to educate myself in all areas of computer science, these days I am mostly interested in solving the problems of software modularity and web development. I enjoy teaching others, as well as creating educational content.
Other than academics and related work, I enjoy playing video games and watching TV series. The latest show I watched was The Wire, and it was absolutely fantastic.
Currently, I am working on a few projects that are not ready to be announced. The things I have done in the near past include:
- Teach 6.101/6.009 in Spring 2024.
- Work on Kodless as part of my SuperUROP in Spring 2024.
- Teach Winter Camp 2024 with voluntary support of more people, continuing the tradition I started in 2023.
- Teach 6.1040/6.170 during Fall 2023.
- Work with Daniel Jackson on applying concepts into web development.
- Lead OpenCode @ MIT with my friend Adhami.
- Live in Burton 5 and serve as the floor chair and captain of the IM tennis team.
- Be part of the MIT Turkish Students Association.
- Work at Citadel as a software engineering intern during Summer 2023.
- Teach 6.102/6.031 and 6.S063 during Spring 2023.
- Work with Lea Verou on HCI-related projects during Fall 2022 and Spring 2023.
- Teach C++ and algorithms to high school students in Azerbaijan — Winter Camp 2023. Here’s a playlist.
- Work at Microsoft as a software engineering intern during Summer 2022.
- Teach 6.101/6.009 during Fall 2021, Spring 2022, and Fall 2022.
- Be vice-president of VGA during 2021-2023 years.
- Work with Daniel Winklehner on building a control system for an ion source experiment.
- Do competitive programming in various online competition platforms. I don’t do these anymore, but I still enjoy solving problems from time to time.
I am very grateful to have worked with all these people and organizations. It would be very hard to maintain a list of all the people I have learned from, but I am thankful to all of them.
