Technical Consulting

Rate begins at $80/hour. Discounted rates negotiable for non-profits.

I graduated in 2007 with Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Systems Science and Bioinformatics. My first job was working on projects for the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security at MIT Lincoln Lab. The majority of my supervisors held doctorates. Those supervisors were instrumental in helping me understand new subjects like digital signal processing and statistical modeling of real, measured data. I was uniquely positioned to write full stack web platforms to collect, analyze, and present data. That became a specialty for me at MIT and beyond.

After MIT Lincon Lab, I continued working on web architecture projects for a few small companies including one NGO. My work often bridged the gap between programming software and deploying/maintaining the infrastructure upon which the software ran. Additionally, I became a resource for explaining git and organizing the project management best practices for remote teams to efficiently collaborate.

I was Director of Architecture for a physical therapy startup called Verapy for 2 years. There, my key responsibilities included construction and maintenance of a HIPAA-compliant, serverless, web infrastructure running on Amazon Web Server.

As a consultant, my projects have ranged from planning serverless applications on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, to full stack web development to inventory and analytics using Google Spreadsheets. My goal is to find the cheapest and most efficient platform that fulfills the immediate and long term needs of my clients.

I have ongoing commitments with a startup building an authoring platform on top of Amazon Alexa and a Navy subcontractor. I have between 2 and 20 hours of availability in any given week depending on the needs of my existing clients.

I'm happy to work with people remotely or locally. Contact consulting@bonvalletconsulting.com for more information or to start a new project with me!

Tutoring

Rate is $30/hour.

I have tutored regular sessions with students learning Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and AP Calculus. Many students taking online courses via Florida Virtual School (FLVS) do not get enough attention from their instructor, so I have worked with a number of students enrolled in FLVS. With covid closing classrooms, the problem has been accentuated, so I'm now virtual tutoring with students in traditional programs.

Outside of mathematics, I have tutored pre-IT, World History, Geological Sciences, and AP Biology. I have worked with students who attend Palm Beach Day, Bak, The Conservatory, St Julianna, Dreyfoos, and Forest Hills.

Adult tutoring can be helpful for professionals looking to change careers. To that end, I have tutored adults learning to program Python, Javascript, and C. I can also help people understand IT concepts such as HTML, computer networking, and cloud providers like Amazon Web Services.

Contact tutoring@bonvalletconsulting.com to schedule a tutor appointment with me! For the time being, I only work with new students who have a direct referral with one of my current students.

Educational Programs

I currently run no educational programs. I helped found Robotics Outreach at Lincoln Lab. I ran a few workshops in West Palm Beach for some neighborhood students.
