Michele Brambilla

Software Engineer at CSCS, bridging the gap between Cloud-Native DevOps and Bare-Metal HPC.

Michele Brambilla is a Senior Software Engineer at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), specializing in Platform Engineering for High-Performance Computing. Armed with a PhD in computational physics and battle scars from instrumenting neutron sources at the Paul Scherrer Institut, he now tackles the challenge of automating bare-metal infrastructure at supercomputer scale. On the Platform Automation team, Michele develops software-defined solutions for the “Alps” infrastructure, while also serving on the observability team to ensure these massive systems remain manageable, debuggable, and - ideally- boring.
