🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?

I have been teaching Programming in my YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@EverydayKarma) since 2019, and currently uploaded AI/ML related videos. From there, I will assist in promoting pytorch to my Nepali Tech community and to my students. Also, I am involved in various tech communities of Nepal, and it will be easier for me to reach out to different workshops and events with ease in different colleges, and organizations. And, we have our discord community too, of 1.5K people (https://bit.ly/ek_discord), where I most of the time do sessions and own workshops.

And, currently, I am doing my Masters in Artificial Intelligence in Kathmandu University; and have engaged in some projects of AI/ML in the company, From there too, I will be fostering pytorch usage to my company and to the university programs and events.

Any additional details you'd like to share?
