Michele Brami

I am a System Integrator, currently serving as Principal Engineer for industrial IT platforms at Eli Lilly, with strong experience in pharmaceutical validation of computer systems and IT/OT integration. After a military career as a Submariner, I reinvented myself as a developer and architect of IT/OT systems; lately, I have been focusing on the implementation of a Unified Namespace based on MQTT to support the transition to next-generation manufacturing systems.

I am a System Integrator based in Italy, currently employed as Principal Engineer for industrial IT platforms at Eli Lilly, a multinational pharmaceutical company.

After graduating from the Petrarca High School for Classical Studies in Arezzo, I pursued a military career in the Navy as a Staff Officer. At the completion of the Naval Academy training, I specialized as a Submariner. After seven more years, serving as Chief of Operations on the Pelosi SSK submarine, and upon completing my required service, I left the Navy to join my father's small company. I resumed studying and reinvented myself as a developer and architect of automation systems. In 2015, I joined Eli Lilly, first as an external consultant and later as an employee, taking on the role of Principal Engineer for Platforms and leading IT/OT integration architecture at the Sesto Fiorentino facility.

I have strong stress resistance and take a practical, holistic approach to problem-solving, while maintaining rigor in requirement analysis, security, and technical documentation.

I have developed extensive experience in pharmaceutical validation of computerized systems supporting manufacturing and analytical instruments. Additionally, I can serve as an SME and System Custodian for a variety of applications across different physical, virtual or containerized platforms, on Windows and on Linux.

In recent years, I have focused on locally implementing a manufacturing Unified Namespace based on MQTT to drive the transition toward next-generation systems.

I have thought whether to include this section or not; the result is obvious. The reason is that this is useful to understand my nature and my approach to life. And so I like spending a lot of my free time writing articles for my blog, recording stakes for my podcast and designing 3D printable objects. I love to tell and to tell about myself, not so much for some ill-fated narcissism (otherwise I would be a star on TikTok!), but to leave a digital trail of reality as I see it, as an act of responsibility towards history, to prevent its embezzlement by the new and emerging totalitarianisms.

I am a FOSS and federated social media advocate, running also my own ActivityPub server on the Fediverse. I also leisurely handcraft websites, writing each and every HTML, CSS and Javascript line, just for me and an handful.

I love to walk and ride outdoors, but I'm pretty lazy from that point of view. One day I'll challenge the *eroica* race.

I am present on many social networks, but probably none of these are mainstream except LinkedIn, on which I left the minimum to tell my profile visitors to look for me on this page. The reason is that I claim to be the only person to own my personal data, the information about my habits and trends and about my interactions with others. Since I do not expect private and centralized social networks to listen to my needs, I choose to be independent.

I can be contacted in many ways: what I do prefer for communications of Business nature the email address already deisclosed on the previous section, that is: info@OurBotSuckedAtScrapingmichelebrami.it.
