🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
I am honored to be considered for the PyTorch Ambassador 2025 program. As a current master’s student in Computer Science specializing in Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on language models, I have developed a deep and growing expertise in PyTorch, which I use daily for experimentation and research. My engagement with PyTorch has been pivotal in my academic and professional journey, reflected in three scientific articles, including a significant publication at Globecom 2024. There, I fine-tuned PHI2 models for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in telecommunications contexts, demonstrating my ability to apply PyTorch to cutting-edge real-world problems.
Professionally, I am currently working as a Data Scientist at Alicorp, where I build AI agents using open-source libraries and open-weight language models. My work involves applying PyTorch to develop scalable, efficient solutions that integrate seamlessly into business operations—demonstrating PyTorch’s power not only in research but in production environments as well.
Beyond research and industry, I actively optimize large language models (LLMs) and deploy them on low-resource devices within federated learning environments using PyTorch. This hands-on experience equips me with practical insights that I eagerly share with the community.
I am passionate about knowledge sharing and community building. As a content creator on TikTok with over 2.5k followers and YouTube with more than 13k subscribers, I produce engaging AI-related videos that make complex concepts accessible to a broad audience. Additionally, I have a LinkedIn following of over 1.6k professionals where I share insights and updates in AI and PyTorch. I am also an instructor on Udemy and teach Generative AI at Datapath, helping foster the next generation of AI practitioners.
Furthermore, I co-founded Promters.sh, a growing AI community in Latin America, which promotes collaboration and learning. My participation in hackathons such as those organized by TelefĂłnica, ITU, and Factored has consistently earned top placements, reflecting my commitment to innovation and teamwork.
As a PyTorch Ambassador, I plan to leverage my multidisciplinary skills and community leadership to:
1. Host workshops and webinars focused on advanced PyTorch techniques for language models and federated learning.
2. Mentor newcomers and intermediate users to help them harness PyTorch’s full potential.
3. Create accessible educational content in both English and Spanish to engage the Latin American AI community.
4. Facilitate collaborations between academia, industry, and enthusiasts to broaden PyTorch adoption and innovation.
I am excited to contribute my experience, passion, and energy to help the PyTorch initiative thrive and empower a diverse, global community.
