🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
I am the original founder of The London PyTorch Meetup with over 1600 members and regular monthly events with approx.100 attendees at each. We have been running this meetup for over 5 years, hosted by organisations such as Meta and Revolut.

We have used the platform to run hackathons and other initiations, aimed at encouraging open source adoption.
