A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is not really a “job”, but it is a compelling challenge that demands hard work and rigor to overcome. My TBI challenge starter during an accident in July 2017 that caused a subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage and broken bones. I survived the coma and eventually returned to a normal human. The recovery was enabled by medical professionals, the body’s biological chemistry, and personal psychological and physical effort.In any event, the TBI was an experience that justified being included to the LinkeIn Experience list. The recovery is still in progress but has advanced enough to support most work activities. There are a few remaining incidental capabilities, such as Aphasia, which still could be improved, but they are not critical roadblocks for most projects. So until such time as my work at Informatica returns, I am a free agent and open to new opportunities.
