🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
As a WTM Ambassador in Machine Learning, GDE, and active leader in GDG communities, I bring a strong foundation in advocacy, mentorship, and technical enablement. As a PyTorch Ambassador, I would amplify this reach to help the community thrive by:
Organizing Events: I will lead inclusive PyTorch workshops, community talks, and hands-on sessions through established platforms such as GDG, WTM, and GCP Innovator events—bridging research, real-world application, and responsible AI practices.
Mentorship & Advocacy: As a WTM Ambassador, I focus on empowering women and underrepresented groups in AI. I’ll provide mentorship, run onboarding sessions, and build learning paths for those beginning their PyTorch journey.
Knowledge Sharing: I’ll create and share tutorials, technical articles, and live coding sessions focused on PyTorch best practices—from model building to MLOps and edge AI—across multiple platforms and conferences like DevFest and She Builds AI.
Community Collaboration: By connecting the PyTorch ecosystem with GCP, ML, and Responsible AI communities, I’ll foster impactful collaborations that drive innovation and inclusion.
My goal is to help the PyTorch initiative scale sustainably while making it more accessible, practical, and community-driven.Any additional details you'd like to share?
