Miguel Alvarado is the CTO of Lumiata, a healthcare AI company based in SF. In this episode, we talk about Miguel’s unconventional journey from Microsoft in the 90s all the way up until the present moment where he is helping bring the power of big data and AI to patients, providers, and insurers.

Just like Bruce Wayne, Miguel works during the day, but at night, has an alter ego. we will talk about his passion as an underground house and techno DJ and finally, we will close with a conversation about the importance of being present.

I had a real pleasure conducting this interview with Miguel and I hope you enjoy it.
