"I am very familiar with Houdini, Maya, and RealFlow. I have worked with these applications, and similar tools, for the past eight years of my career in production and animation. I would rate myself an expert level user in Houdini, and I lean on it daily to create multiple iterations and rapidly share workflows with my team members. I use Maya daily, for modeling, simulation, and rendering in animation, motion graphics, virtual reality, and character creation. I am an intermediate user in Maya. Although I have just one year of experience with RealFlow, I did pick up on it quickly. I appreciate how fast and easy it is to use and the fact that its compatible with nearly all 3D platforms."
