How has the nominee contributed to PyTorch?

• An active contributor to PyTorch repositories (e.g., commits, PRs, discussions).
• A speaker at PyTorch events or workshops.
• A PyTorch user group organizer or meetup host.
• A researcher or educator using PyTorch in academic work or training.
• An active leader in the PyTorch community with at least one year of experience in:
• Organizing events (virtual/in-person).
• Speaking at AI/ML conferences.
• Mentoring others in PyTorch.
• Creating technical content (e.g., blogs, videos, tutorials).

🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?

I would actively engage with the community by participating in discussions on platforms like GitHub, PyTorch Forums, and social media to answer questions, share insights, and encourage collaboration.

My goal would be to make PyTorch more accessible by creating educational content such as tutorials, blog posts, and video walkthroughs that help learners at all levels.

I plan to host workshops, webinars, and online tutorials posted on my YouTube channels, especially related to my research areas (computer vision, Tiny ML), to foster learning and support new PyTorch users and young researchers through mentorship and hands-on guidance.

I also aim to organize small and more engaging coding challenges that inspire innovation and real-world applications of PyTorch.

By gathering community feedback and working closely with my collaborators and students, I hope to contribute to improving documentation, tools, and future features.

Representing PyTorch at conferences and events, and using and citing PyTorch in my talks and research seminars, I will strive to build a vibrant, collaborative, and welcoming community that empowers developers, researchers, and students around the world.
