IBM Intern Battles Tumors, Corporate Life, and Speech Stumbles
Meet Gogi Benny, the 21-year-old IBM intern with neurofibromatosis—a condition that grows tumors on his nerves and makes smiling a challenge worthy of a corporate horror movie. Born in India and transplanted to the U.S. at age 6, Gogi juggled hospital visits, surgeries, speech therapy, and a high school P-Tech program where kids earn an associate degree while...well, earning their sanity trying. Starting as an intern doing administrative fluff in 2022, he ascended to testing websites for IBM's web analytics team, proving multitasking between tumors and tech is no small feat. After surgery notices mishaps and learning over-communication saves lives (or at least jobs), Gogi now balances a Western Connecticut State University computer science degree while charming the IBM corporate maze with awkward speech and killer work ethic.
