🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?

Hi PyTorch Team! 
First of all, thank you for stable growth of such a nice tool as PyTorch and starting this Ambassador program, that's a really good idea to involve more people in PyTorch activities, and spread the knowledge across the globe about PyTorch and its ecosystem.

I'm a Alexey Gruzdev, taking Tech Lead position in AI/ML domain, based in Russia, working closely with instruments that's provided by PyTorch ecosystem.
I would be happy to join the program, and be helpful online & offline in Russia.

How can I contribute, from my point of view:
- Advocate for PyTorch with tutorials and blogs for broader community sharing anywhere online.
- Advocate for PyTorch within the company 😃
- Research with PyTorch
- Maybe involved in some activities in Russia if you plan anything there.
