— Hi 👋 My name is Diky Hadna, & I build software for information defense & narrative security.
Software Engineer
Custom software engineering / Disinformation-resilient systems / Strategic narrative defense / OSINT-literate engineer
What I Do
I work at the intersection of custom systems, digital defense, and mentoring for strategic thinkers.
Software Development
I design and build custom software systems, from public-facing platforms to internal tooling, tailored for resilience, clarity, and high-context environments.
Technical Services
I offer infrastructure support, from digital environments and deployment workflows to operational clarity and troubleshooting. Ensuring your systems run smoothly in complex, high-noise contexts.
1:1 Mentoring
I mentor thinkers, builders, and remote-first professionals to develop sovereign skills: critical software thinking, narrative clarity, and digital independence. If you're building your own lane, I'll help you navigate it.
Trusted & loved by many of you:
Don't just take my word for it.
Operational trust is earned, and here's what others say after working with me.
I am very impressed with how fast and beautifully you implement. I enjoy working with you a lot. I've worked with many devs in the past, so I can compare.

What I've Built
These systems weren't built to impress, they were built to expose, defend, and teach. These selected works range from tactical learning platforms to cognitive simulation systems, each created to test how humans think, decide, and adapt in complex systems.
HAVOC Performance Monitor
A real-time biosensing platform designed to capture and interpret physiological and cognitive signals—including heart rate, GSR, and EEG—to assess stress, deception, and behavioral readiness. Built for use in simulation environments, it supports training, research, and operational profiling in high-pressure, high-noise contexts.
EMoD
EMoD (European Master of Disinformation) is a strategic learning platform built to train professionals in resisting modern disinformation threats. The system powers the Horizon Europe-funded SAUFEX project, delivering modular content on FIMI (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference), belief systems, platform manipulation, and adaptive countermeasures.
TactCheck
A narrative simulation platform built to model, inject, and observe adversarial information flows within social media environments. TactCheck creates high-fidelity disinformation scenarios—complete with replies, timing structures, and platform-native dynamics—to train users in detection, tactical response, and resilience. Developed to support civic, academic, and defense-aligned institutions.
AskHAVOC
A voice-based simulation interface designed to explore psychological signaling, narrative manipulation, and cognitive friction through real-time dialogue. Built atop the HAVOC architecture, it enables adversarial conversation scenarios to test verbal resilience, stress response, and influence detection in synthetic or high-pressure environments.
How I Build Strategic Systems...
My work often begins with ambiguity, sometimes even contradiction. Here's how I move from noise to structure:
Context Mapping
Before code or visuals, I map the terrain: actors, narratives, vulnerabilities, and existing systems. This step is more than just about “requirements”.
System Design & Simulation
I prototype core mechanisms that mirror real-world complexity: a voice agent, a disinformation simulator, or a biometric dashboard. These are tested against noise, not just users.
Deployment & Operational Support
Once deployed, the systems don't end. They adapt. I build for iteration under pressure: strategic feedback loops, scenario adjustments, and extended monitoring if required.

Hiring the wrong mind compromises more than time and budget...
— it weakens your defenses, distorts your message, and creates blind spots that take months to unlearn. I approach systems design not just as implementation—but as strategy. I build for clarity in chaotic environments, and I work best with those who know what's at stake.
