— Hi 👋 My name is Diky Hadna, & I build systems at the intersection of information integrity and narrative security.
Software Engineer
Disinformation-Resilient Systems / Strategic Narrative Defense / Open-Source Intelligence / Cognitive Simulation Platforms
What I Do
I work at the intersection of information integrity and narrative security.
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.
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 are selected projects—a glimpse into systems used across transnational defense and research environments. They weren't built to impress; they were built to expose, defend, and teach. From tactical learning platforms to cognitive simulation engines, each one explores how people think, decide, and adapt under pressure, manipulation, and complexity.
HAVOC Performance Monitor
A real-time biosensing system designed to capture and decode physiological and cognitive signals—heart rate, GSR, EEG, and more. It identifies stress, deception, and behavioral instability with precision, even under chaotic conditions. Built for simulation environments that mirror operational intensity, it supports training, surveillance, and psychological profiling.
EMoD
EMoD (European Master of Disinformation) is a strategic learning platform built to train professionals in resisting modern disinformation threats. Developed for the Horizon Europe-funded SAUFEX project, it delivers modular content on FIMI (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference), belief systems, platform manipulation, and adaptive countermeasures.
TactCheck
A narrative simulation platform designed to model, inject, and observe adversarial information flows within social media environments. TactCheck generates high-fidelity disinformation scenarios—complete with replies, timing structures, and platform-native dynamics—to train users in detection, tactical response, and narrative resilience.
AskHAVOC
A voice-based simulation interface for exploring 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.
Get Bad News
A narrative training platform that models online disinformation by placing users in the role of a fake news architect. Through scenario-driven gameplay, it exposes players to tactics like polarization, emotional manipulation, and conspiracy framing—building intuitive pattern recognition and strategic awareness from the adversary's perspective.
Fiction Factory
A high-impact exploration of digital deception, Fiction Factory exposes how quickly misinformation can be engineered, deployed, and believed. Designed to reveal the architecture of online manipulation, it breaks down the anatomy of malintent with clarity and precision. This remains the most requested workshop from the Dutch Institute for Sound and Vision.
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.
