At Nordyn Group (A German-Ukrainian UAV company) we build software-defined tactical micro-factories, UAVs and ecosystems to be deployed in secure locations for decentralised airframe, components and parts production—scalable from frontline supply to national resilience and emergency support missions. I am an acknowledged expert in unmanned aerial systems and aircraft design . I lean into utilitarian designs with lots of smart options and modularity. I do not believe in CAD design only. Usually, my projects start with a hand drawing, not on the PC. Ideas come while drawing by hand. I really love to get my hands dirty and test, break and reiterate until a product truly works. I love to communicate and interact with customers, partners and stake holders. I love to lead innovative teams and build amazing things with them. With over two decades of constant learning, tinkering, building adapting, iterating and testing stuff, I love to oversee product strategy, design, and development, leveraging my expertise in product management, production planning and design innovation to create cutting-edge UXV solutions. I truly love to work with Start-Ups. If they truly want to change the world. Not a corporate guy at all. Simple beats complex. Never stop learning. Always look forward to what's next.
At NORDYN, we build decentralized mobile production units for UXV, surveillance, training and decoy drones and spare parts in Europe. We do software defined manufacturing. Drone and parts production on the edge. Scaling up drone and part production in Europe to provide affordable, on demand production of much needed unmanned assets. Bottom-Up procurement and production is our goal. The DRN:X software is the backbone of this unique UAV production system.
The digital backbone of NORDYN: DRN:X is building a safe, encrypted digital procurement backbone for agile, decentraliced drone start-ups. We provide an AI-powered, secure procurement platform tailored for decentralized, iterative drone production — designed to meet the rapid demands of modern battlefield conditions. Our platform enables: • Brigade-level sourcing of custom drones and accessories • Peer-to-peer production logistics with built-in OPSEC • Secure supplier networks and design iteration at the edge • Decentralized manufacturing coordination using additive/3D print workflows • AI-structured chat-based communication across teams and units Born from frontline learnings in Ukraine, DRN:X transforms fragmented, unsecure sourcing into a resilient, traceable, and field-driven system ready for tomorrow’s defense challenges. We don’t just move faster — we build future defence smarter.
