Paarth Arya

Hi, I'm Paarth.

I'm a final year Computer Science specialist at the University of Toronto.

About Me

I am absolutely driven by impact. In high school, I tried to make tech feel less intimidating and more inclusive through my book. At UofT, I'm a Computer Science Specialist in the ASIP co-op program where I focus on AI, software design, and building systems that actually help people.

Experience

Software Engineering Intern, Apple

Built on-device ML systems with CoreML and PyTorch to improve Wi-Fi reliability for 2B+ iPhones. Created a Swift evaluation app to visualize live predictions, cutting validation cycles by 40% and shaping feature roadmaps with data-driven insights.

AI & Data Analytics Intern, Deloitte

Designed an AutoML full-stack web app so teammates could clean, visualize, and train models without touching code, reducing manual work by 40%. Partnered with 15 engineers and 3 PMs to ship features that boosted decision-making efficiency by 35%.

Technological Lead, Wisdom Tree Publishing

Automated data processing for 350+ authors with Python, Pandas, and Flask, saving 80+ hours each year. I also reimagined document conversion workflows for eBook deployment, eliminating manual formatting and freeing up 15 hours every week.
