See all- Exploring the Concentration of Banking Through DE & AI with Juan TorresCrafting Bytes - WeWork, San Diego, CA
Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of finance, data engineering, and AI! In this session, Juan Torres will present two open-source web apps that explore the Concentration of Banking and the rise of AI in banking assets. These apps provide rich visualizations and insights into how financial power is distributed among U.S. banks—and how AI is helping to make sense of it all.
But we’re not stopping at the surface.
This talk will focus on the data engineering work behind the scenes:- How raw, semi-structured data from the Federal Reserve is transformed into structured, tabular data
- The ETL pipeline (shown in a Jupyter Notebook) that powers both apps
- How AI agentic systems are leveraged to automate insights
Whether you're a data engineer, data scientist, economist, or just curious about how data becomes insight, this is a great chance to learn from open-source code and real-world applications.
Agenda:- What is the Concentration of Banking?
- Walkthrough of the Concentration of Banking App
- Demo of the AI Banking Assets App
- Behind-the-scenes look at the ETL pipeline
- Open Q&A
Bring your questions, ideas, and curiosity—this will be an interactive and insightful evening!
