Engineering that holds up in the real world.
Vendara is a technology and engineering company. We build software, AI and connected systems for clients across industry, dual-use and defence — with a focus on the details that decide whether a system actually works outside the lab.
A senior engineering partner, not an agency.
Vendara is the engineering company of a senior engineer and technical manager based in Cluj-Napoca. We focus on hands-on engineering: edge-AI perception, unmanned-systems integration, secure connectivity and modern software. We take ownership of well-scoped technical problems and deliver working systems, with the discipline that defence and regulated environments require.
Five capability areas.
Custom Software Development
Modern web applications, secure APIs and data platforms built to production standards — React frontends, PostgreSQL backends and strong runtime validation, with GDPR-compliant data handling as the baseline.
AI & Edge Computing
Computer-vision and perception systems that run on real hardware in the field: detection and tracking models trained, optimised and deployed for real-time inference on embedded GPUs.
Defence & Unmanned Systems Integration
Integration experience across tactical unmanned platforms and counter-UAS systems: flight stacks, command-and-control links, protocol translation gateways and secure, resilient connectivity for contested environments.
Programme details shared under NDA.
Drone Services
Practical drone capability for teams that need to build, test and fly: custom drone builds and tuning, FPV building workshops, pilot-training support, access to a dedicated 4,600 sqm test field near Cluj-Napoca, and support for EASA/Romanian A1/A3 and A2 certification preparation.
Security Assessments & Compliance
Security and compliance assessments delivered together with a certified, accredited lead assessor: cybersecurity audits, penetration testing, NIS2 gap analysis, AI-system assessments for EU AI Act readiness and ISO 27001-aligned advisory.
Delivered with an accredited assessment partner.
How we work
NDA-first.
Sensitive work starts with a mutual NDA. We do not name clients or programmes publicly.
IP-respecting.
Your IP stays yours. Clear ownership, clean handover, documented code.
Consortium-ready.
Experience preparing and participating in EU defence funding consortia (EDF, NATO innovation programmes). We can join a bid as a technical partner or support the technical write-up.
Field-grade discipline.
We build for the constraints that matter: power, weight, thermals, latency, EW-contested links, and real operating conditions.
Selected experience
Representative work, described without naming clients or programmes.
Led the AI perception and autonomy stack for a tactical unmanned platform — model training through optimised edge inference and a robotics runtime deployed on embedded GPUs.
Integrated field systems with a major European command-and-control environment, including protocol translation between autopilot telemetry and tactical awareness standards.
Designed secure, resilient connectivity for field platforms — encrypted tunnels over 5G with cellular fallback for contested environments.
Prepared and contributed to EU defence funding consortium proposals as a technical partner.
Built GDPR-compliant software platforms with modern frontends and PostgreSQL backends for regulated use cases.
