Welcome to BEALTO

BEALTO was created in February 2006 by your host: Eric Bainville, independent software architect and developer.

How can BEALTO help you?

R&D consulting

From an idea, or existing academic research work, I can quickly develop prototype software to be used in demos for potential investors and customers. My mixed academic/start-up profile is ideal for this kind of job.

For a given problem, I can study the existing state of the art, and design and implement robust and efficient algorithms solving it. When needed, I can optimize the implementation to the limits of CPU or GPU hardware.

Training courses

On-site training courses in OpenCL, multithreading, C++, Qt. I can prepare and animate hands-on sessions (typically 20-30 hours in 3 to 5 days), in English, French, or Italian.

Commercial software development

I can design and manage the development of a medium size software project, from the initial application design and project setup (code management, team management, methodology) to product release (packaging, documentation, support) and promotion (conferences, sales).
