🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
I, Hrudu Shibu, am nominating myself for the PyTorch Ambassador Program. I am over 18 years of age and fully agree to abide by the PyTorch Code of Conduct and the Linux Foundation Antitrust Policy. As a System Administrator at Axcess.io and an AgentForce Innovator, I work extensively with cloud infrastructure, DevOps tools, and AI integrations. I have earned multiple certifications, including 4x Oracle credentials, and I'm actively exploring AI through hands-on experimentation and certifications like Postman API Fundamentals and AWS Educate. Alongside my technical role, I contribute to the community by publishing newsletters like Jira & Beyond, The Cloud Compass, and Queuil, which help disseminate knowledge across tools and trends in cloud, automation, and AI. I actively support AI and PyTorch communities via discussions, mentorship, and tech writing. My educational path through the University of Mysore (BCA) and a diploma in Cloud Computing further complements my experience. If selected as a PyTorch Ambassador, I aim to bridge the gap between system operations and AI by producing beginner-friendly and cloud-integrated PyTorch tutorials, hosting live sessions on deploying PyTorch apps at scale, and mentoring young engineers transitioning from IT infrastructure roles into AI development. My GitHub handle is @hrudushibu, and more about my work and content can be found at https://topmate.io/hrudushibu..Any additional details you'd like to share?
In addition to my professional and community work, I actively publish educational content through newsletters such as The Cloud Compass (focused on AWS and cloud best practices) and Queuil (covering emerging tech and AI news). My Topmate profile (https://topmate.io/hrudushibu) showcases my mentorship offerings and past tech sessions. I also maintain a growing GitHub presence where I share automation scripts, cloud templates, and plan to expand into PyTorch-based AI deployment projects bridging infrastructure with AI workflows. I’m passionate about helping early-career professionals transition into AI roles from traditional IT backgrounds, and I plan to open-source beginner-friendly labs and guides that combine PyTorch with cloud-native tools like AWS, GitHub Actions, and Docker.
