🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
I won’t claim I’ll do everything perfectly from day one—but I do have the heart for it. I come from a background where access to AI and PyTorch resources isn’t easy, and I’ve seen how lost students can feel when there’s no proper guidance. That’s exactly why I want to engage with the PyTorch community—not just as a contributor, but as someone who understands the struggle and wants to make the journey easier for others.
My plan is to start small but consistent. I’ll host beginner-friendly sessions and workshops, especially in universities where AI seems scary to most students. I want to create safe learning spaces—online or offline—where people can ask questions without feeling intimidated by those who are already ahead of them. I’ll also try to share content in both English and Urdu to make it more accessible.
Mentorship is close to my heart too. I’ve already been helping my juniors and peers, and I’d love to continue that under the PyTorch banner—maybe by starting a study group or mentorship circle where we learn and grow together. I also plan to contribute to open-source PyTorch projects, even if it’s just by improving documentation or answering beginner questions.
It's going to be a two-way learning process. I want to show up consistently, help where I can, and give back to the same community that helped me become who I am today.Any additional details you'd like to share?
