🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
As someone who works deeply with large language models and computer vision, PyTorch has been at the core of almost everything I do. It’s not just a tool for me—it’s something I actively teach, explore, and promote in my local and online communities, especially in my university. I already have YouTube channel where I talk about ML models and try the models with the torch framework. If selected as a PyTorch Ambassador, I plan to give back by helping others build confidence in using PyTorch, whether they're just starting out or looking to go deeper.
I’m especially passionate about supporting students and early-career developers in underrepresented regions like mine (Rajshahi, Bangladesh). I want to host workshops—both virtual and in-person—where people can learn by doing. I’ll create more content based on real-world projects than now, break down complex topics in simple terms, and share tips from my experience working with cutting-edge models. I’m also committed to mentoring others and building a strong, collaborative PyTorch community around me.
For me, being an ambassador is not about just the title—it’s about creating more pretty opportunities for people to grow with PyTorch the way I did.Any additional details you'd like to share?
I’ve published a research paper with Elsevier on a computer vision-based machine learning model for nutrition detection, built using PyTorch as the core framework. Beyond academics, I co-manage a Facebook group called RNN (RUET Neural Network) for our university, where I regularly engage with peers and juniors interested in AI, machine learning, and deep learning. On the professional side, I’m currently working with an AI startup where I'm developing a Bangla transcription model—again using PyTorch. Whether it's research, community building, or real-world product development, PyTorch has been like the horse of my journey.
