🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
As a long-time member of the PyTorch community and an experienced organizer of machine learning meetups globally, I’m passionate about fostering inclusive and engaging spaces for developers and researchers to connect, learn, and collaborate. I plan to support the PyTorch initiative by hosting regular community events and meetups—both locally in the UK and across the EU—to spotlight innovative projects, share best practices, and onboard new users. In addition, I’m eager to mentor early-career practitioners and contribute to knowledge-sharing through talks, workshops, and content creation. My involvement with the Linux Foundation’s marketing user groups has further strengthened my ability to build community momentum and drive visibility for open-source efforts like PyTorch.
