💻 Before the full-scale invasion, worked in IT, developing high-load systems and collaborating with US clients
🛠️ In 2022, founded the charity foundation “Dzyga’s Paw,” which raised over $3 million for technological equipment for the Armed Forces (drones, power stations, communication devices, etc.)
🪖 Joined the Unmanned Systems Forces in autumn 2024 as a drone operator
🎯 Main task: reconnaissance and guiding HIMARS/ATACMS strikes on enemy targets

Why did you decide to join the Army?
"I wanted to defend Ukraine’s freedom. At first, I helped my friends on the frontlines through my charity foundation, but later I decided to become a drone operator to contribute more to our victory"
Why do you want to attend the Freedom Summit?
"I want to share my story, exchange experiences about technological warfare, and build connections between Ukraine and the US. We share common values – freedom, life, and the pursuit of happiness – and I believe our nations can learn from each other"
