I'm very fluent in Adobe products such as After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Encore, and Premiere, as well as Autodesk's 3D Studio MAX, NextLimit's RealFlow, and a handful of coding languages, including XHTML, PHP, CSS, and Javascript.
I don't group myself in with the designers, because I'm mostly an animator. I do design work when it's called for, but my strongest skills are in animation. As I'm starting to really get my head around the programming side of it all, I'm getting better at setting up simulations as well. Those include physics, cloth and water simulations. Haven't quite mastered fire, but it's on my to-do list.
