I take complex subjects in technology and finance and make them clear, practical, and honest. No hot takes, no book commercial, just good tape.
About
Alberto Artasanchez explains how technology and money actually work, and what happens when big promises meet reality. He is a data scientist and solutions architect with more than 30 years of experience across technology and finance, where he has built large-scale machine learning and data platforms at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the financial industry.
He is an AWS Ambassador, holds nine AWS certifications and two Anthropic certifications, and is the author of the technical books Artificial Intelligence with Python and AWS for Solutions Architects. That gives him a practitioner's view of AI that few guests can offer: what it is really doing inside companies today, where it genuinely helps, and where the hype runs ahead of the results.
He also writes for a general audience. In The Long Game series he lays out practical, no-hype approaches to building wealth over time, covering Bitcoin, AI-powered investing, and real estate. In the Smoke and Mirrors series he investigates the gap between what we are promised and what actually gets delivered, from a 42 billion dollar broadband program that connected almost no one to a bullet train that ballooned into a 100 billion dollar question. In Elon Musk's Master Plan he maps the single strategy that connects Musk's many companies.
