Radu Vasile, a young programmer in Constanta was born blind, but this did not discourage him in life, on the contrary.

Keen to make it, Radu Vasile became the best Romanian IT programmer.

He stood up to the challenge and managed to get international recognition. He was awarded by the most important company in the United States and the blind computer scientist became famous and has proven that he can do better.

Unfortunately, not being able to find a job was the only drama that really scarred his soul.

"Everybody appreciated what I was doing considering the disability I suffer from, but the same people when asked to hire me would back down," the young man said, in an interview with Neptune TV.

Mihai Gâdea presented Monday evening on the "Daily Summary” the story of the blind computer operator.

"In 2006 when I graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, I submitted resumes specifying I was a blind person. Those who would not read carefully the resume rang me up and said I had the job. When I told them I was blind and wondered if they had a problem with that, some responded that their company could not provide optimal working conditions for me, while others said that they did not want blind people in their companies, " Radu Vasile said.

"After I have gotten more experience, their attitude has changed a little. They would call me up to satisfy their sick curiosity. They too wanted to see the blind programmer. It was a source of fun for them," added the young computer scientist.
