Abutalib-Barish Namazov
My name is Abutalib but I usually go by Barish. 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 computers, these days I am mostly interested in software modularity. I enjoy teaching others, as well as creating educational content. Feel free to reach out to me via email at [email protected].
Other than academics and related work, I enjoy playing video games and watching TV series. The latest show I watched was The Sopranos (before that, The Wire), and it was absolutely fantastic. Lately, I spend a good amount of time at the gym lifting.
The things I have done in the near past include:
