Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPrarthona Paul is a Teaching Assistant and graduate student in Engineering Education at the University of Toronto with five years of experience bridging software engineering and pedagogy. She holds a BASc in Computer Engineering with a software engineering focus, a minor in AI, and a certificate in Engineering Leadership, and now studies how to improve first-year engineering experiences and integrate technology into curricula. Her industry experience includes a software engineering internship at Red Hat where she contributed to the WildFly application server and security-focused quickstarts, adding Elytron/OIDC features and cross-version transformers—work that demonstrates production-grade back-end and security proficiency. On campus she has led curriculum analysis, won best poster at an undergraduate research day, and designed outreach/STEM programs that prepare high-school students for university engineering. Comfortable switching between data-driven research, classroom facilitation, and low-level server security work, she’s equally at home mentoring student teams or contributing to open-source infrastructure.
