I’m incredibly honored to have received the PyTorch Ambassador Award 2023! This recognition from the PyTorch team means the world to me and represents the culmination of years of passionate work in the deep learning community.
What This Award Represents
The PyTorch Ambassador Award recognizes community members who have made significant contributions to the PyTorch ecosystem through education, advocacy, and community building. Receiving this award is particularly meaningful because it acknowledges not just technical contributions, but the broader impact on advancing AI education and accessibility.
My Journey with PyTorch
My relationship with PyTorch began during my university days when I was exploring different deep learning frameworks. What drew me to PyTorch wasn’t just its technical capabilities, but its philosophy: making deep learning accessible and intuitive for researchers and practitioners alike.
Gratitude
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without:
- Mark Saroufim who I really appreciate for giving me this opportunity to be part of the PyTorch community
- The incredible PyTorch team who built such an amazing framework
- Fellow community members who collaborate and share knowledge
Special thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey—every question answered, every tutorial shared, and every person inspired to explore AI makes this community stronger.
