Eric Eberhardt
As a Producer for video games & educational software with a background in web application development and scripting, I am fluent in the technical and creative aspects of interactive software development. Thanks to this broad perspective I excel at working with both designers and engineers to identify and document project requirements and to fulfill these via the development of custom tools and applications.
I am proficient with a variety of scheduling and project management tools and techniques, including Microsoft Project and Visio, Hansoft, Danube Scrumworks for Agile Development and the use and administration of MediaWiki, BugZilla and various version-control systems (CVS, SVN, Perforce).
My commentary on game development and other topics can be found on the web at antinomian.com, a personal site and weblog that I have updated regularly for the last 5 years.
