🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
As an aspiring PyTorch Ambassador, I am committed to cultivating a vibrant and inclusive PyTorch community in Melbourne and across Australia. While Australia has a growing tech scene, the AI/ML community still lacks the momentum seen in regions like the US. I aim to change that by actively engaging with leading Australian universities and institutions to host impactful events, hands on workshops, reading groups, mentorship programs, and regular community meetups.
My goal is to make PyTorch the center of Australia’s AI movement supporting students, researchers, and professionals in deep learning development, encouraging open source contributions towards ai and pytorch, and fostering cross-institutional collaboration. By building strong local networks and connecting them to the global AI community, I hope to help position Australia as a key contributor and producer in the future of machine learning and artificial intelligence especially with PyTorch as the head of the spear.Any additional details you'd like to share?
