🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?

As an Ambassador, I would contribute in several ways. First, by conducting research and encouraging my students to explore solutions to cutting-edge, real-world problems, especially in the field of robotics.

I actively share knowledge and code through clear, structured educational content. I'm currently working on tutorials and videos that explain key concepts like ROS2 for robotics, Vision Transformers for video classification, and end-to-end pipelines for computer vision. My background in building modular AI systems (e.g., detection, pose estimation, segmentation, tracking).

As an Ambassador, I would continue contributing by:

- Creating tutorials and open-source projects for deploying PyTorch models on edge/mobile devices using React Native and PyTorch Mobile/ONNX.
- Sharing insights on training and fine-tuning advanced models like SAM2 with real-world datasets.
- Supporting the PyTorch community through mentorship, social media content, and interactive talks or workshops focused on vision, multimodal AI, and robotics.
