Paula Ramos is a Senior DevRel leader and AI evangelist with a PhD in computer vision and over a decade of hands-on research and product impact spanning embedded systems, IoT, and generative AI. She blends solution architecture and developer advocacy to drive adoption of Conventional AI, GenAI, and edge-to-cloud inference platforms, most recently scaling developer programs at Intel and now leading DevRel at NVIDIA. Paula has a strong applied research pedigree—building robotics and precision-agriculture systems, publishing prototypes and patents for coffee growers—and she translates that domain depth into practical proofs-of-concept and conference-ready technical content. She’s known for creating inclusive, scalable communities and researcher-facing programs (Best of Conferences, Women in AI, En Español) that turn academic work into usable tools. An active contributor to OpenVINO tutorial notebooks, she pairs code-level contributions with executive storytelling to influence product strategy and ISV partnerships. Based in Holly Springs, NC, she thrives at the intersection of research, product, and community to accelerate real-world AI adoption.
