🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
I am currently managing a team of software developers at Intel Mexico that recently engaged in optimizations for PyTorch at Intel Hardware. And recently we have been training other engineering areas in the company in ML and DL topics using PyTorch as the AI Framework to use.
I would like to increase the visibility and of the framework in Mexico by developing content in Spanish and acting as a mentor for newcomers and academic institutions, with the objective of developing a more mature ecosystem in Mexico and later expand to other Latin-America regions.
