Resident of Lviv Denys Reveha lost his eyesight when he was two. He is now 26. He is married, has a daughter and a job that he loves \u2013 in an IT company. \u201cI leave them together, they go for a walk. Denys carries her on his shoulders, helps her ride a scooter. He is behaving as a normal person, tries to cope on his own and not to show that he can\u2019t see,\u201d says Inna, Denys\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n
When Denys was 10, he got computer as a present. He created his first web site at 14. After graduation Denys worked as a freelancer. But soon he realized that he wants to go to work every day, as everyone does. \u201cI was trying to achieve it and I did it. I work and feel no discomfort. Sure, sometimes miscalculations happen, but that\u2019s the way it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Denys does back-end programming, he writes codes alongside the programmers with regular eyesight. \u201cAt first we were alert, but during the job interview he was very confident,\u201d says Oleksandr, Denys\u2019s team leader. \u201cHe demonstrated better results than many others did, and we decided to give it a try. He is attentive, he always does what\u2019s needed, looks up additional tasks. Employers do not want to risk, especially those in the big companies. Moreover many people with disability are not confident in themselves. Denys on the contrary is very confident and does not differ from us at all,\u201d Oleksandr continues.<\/p>\n
