Thomas Ken Ronaldi, a boy who was born in Bandung, West Java Indonesia is an active and passionate person. Living in a big city doesn't make me feel in comfort zone. I try to my own story and realize my own dream for my future. My family are well educated person. Although they only finished their graduated education, they keep inspiring me with their experiences both in education and professional environment.
==== '''Big Dreams was Stopped!''' ====
My dreams start when I loved Automotive Industry and I wanted to learn more about them in Mechanical Engineering Major. But it couldn't be achieved because I failed in my test. But I found this campus and it woke me up. I learn not only about Electrical Engineering, but also a lesson in life I've never had before.
==== Rise Up and Create New Dreams ====
From that moment, I interested in Machine Learning in 2020. At first, I had ''Introduction to Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence'' course in my campus. I thought it was amazing when I created a machine learning model for helping problems in society. I decided to get more information about Machine Learning and joining Google Bangkit 2021 Machine Learning Path program, an academy lead by Google in collaboration with ''Gojek, Tokopedia,'' and ''Traveloka''. Shortly, I graduated in June 2021 after long journey in Bangkit.
Not only graduated from Bangkit, Me and my team also achieved Top 15 Capstone Project in Bangkit. We created a Realtime Indonesian Sign Language Translation Application called ''BACARA''. This application offers offers a novel solution, in the form of a mobile app that can interpret sign language using AI, and convert it to text and speech, so hearing friends no longer face challenges when they want to communicate with deaf/mute friends. We had a vision to remove communication barrier with deaf/mute friends with normal people, deaf/mute friends are still part of us an we can't deny them. This Project was funded by Google and Education Ministry of Indonesia Ministry of Education in total US $10000.
