🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
As a PyTorch Ambassador, I plan to build a strong bridge between the academic, open-source, and practitioner communities. I will continue producing and maintaining high-quality, PyTorch-based educational content—ranging from tutorials and research implementations to hands-on workshops. I also aim to initiate a PyTorch user group in Tunisia to host local meetups, webinars, and study sessions focused on real-world use cases of PyTorch, especially in document AI and graph learning.
Given my background as a university lecturer, I am well-positioned to mentor students and early-career professionals, helping them understand PyTorch beyond the basics and guide them in contributing to open-source. I am also eager to collaborate on technical challenges within the PyTorch ecosystem and contribute via code, documentation, or community discussions to ensure the framework continues evolving with user needs.
