What's all this, then?

Here I've compiled missives and ramblings on sundry topics -- mostly tech.

Any worthwile projects?

Some ...

I should link to, and describe them.

Who the hell is Corey Gallon?

Corey J. Gallon spends his daytime hours as Chief Innovation Officer of PwC's Commercial Technology business, which means he's professionally tasked with turning the tech world's most ridiculous buzzwords into actually useful solutions. Leading a squad of technology ninjas, Corey tackles PwC clients' most challenging problems — proving regularly that the difference between insanity and innovation is just execution. Previously, he got dressed up every day as Head of Engineering Strategy for PwC Digital and Chief Product Officer for PwC's Accelerators business because, clearly, one fancy title is not nearly enough. 🚀💡🔥

When Corey's not consultanting (what? That's a word!) all the livelong day, he's corrupting minds — young and old — as Adjunct Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Loyola University's Quinlan Graduate School of Business. (/me catches breath after getting that out ...) There, he's infamous for enthusiastically dismantling AI buzzword bingo in real-time. Corey is a founding faculty member of Quinlan's MS in Business Data Analytics program and sits (often impatiently) on the Board of Advisors for the Graduate Finance Program, insisting that graduate students focus on learning to do stuff that actually works in the real world. 📚🎓🧠

Back in the day, Corey was a Wall Street Partner and Head of Finance at an institutional broker-dealer, redefining the boundaries of algorithmic trading of derivatives and equities. This was during the nuclear arms race that was high-frequency trading — an experience that was exactly as chaotic as it sounds. He's also spent time serving on numerous boards because meetings-on-meetings-on-meetings are, apparently, his idea of a good time. 💼📈🎢

Corey is a regular speaker (and too frequent a ranter) at conferences and industry events on applied topics of AI, machine learning, and data science. When he's not busy teaching, innovationing (that's right!), or gleefully criticizing overblown industry trends, Corey reminds everyone within earshot that "enterprise AI kinda sucks right now" — which is precisely why he's here to fix it. 😎🔧✨
