Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniil Vasiliev is a Berlin-based professor and systems thinker with 15 years of hands-on experience experimenting across all OSI layers, from legacy modem-era hardware to contemporary operating systems. He blends academic roles at Merz Akademie and Nürnberg with practical leadership as IT Infrastructure Team Lead at Tactical Tech and system design work at Twitter, while running his own studio, WEISE7. Known as a Critical Engineer and hacker, he investigates firmware, hardware and software through anti-disciplinary methods that reveal system-level vulnerabilities and design insights. His background in media and communication design (Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academy) gives him a rare fluency in translating technical complexity into teachable narratives and creative projects. He combines pedagogy, consultancy and product-scale system design, often surfacing non-obvious interactions between infrastructure, policy and user experience. Colleagues describe him as an experimentalist who treats networks as both instruments and research subjects, turning curiosity into concrete technical and educational outcomes.
