# Auran Buckles > Senior Software Engineer Location: Atlanta Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/auran Experienced full-stack software engineer with a background in law. My everyday languages are ruby and javascript, and am most comfortable with frameworks like Ruby on Rails and React. I also like to dabble in Python here and there. Building codebases from the ground up, architecting database solutions, and problem-solving through technical challenges are the most exciting and rewarding aspects of my work and personal projects. I am constantly finding ways to grow not only technically as a developer, but also through the lens of providing value to the business and end-users. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ CareRev Jan 2018 – Jan 2024 | Greater Los Angeles Area • Maintained and evolved the core API hub, building product features and optimizing database queries, API performance, and background job processing to improve scalability and reliability. • Engineered a real-time Salesforce integration with Kafka and Debezium, giving sales and marketing live data access and sharper pipeline visibility, which increased the volume of professional credentials processed by 28%. • Collaborated on a “shift cascading” project, designing algorithms to optimize how professionals are prioritized and matched to nursing shifts, boosting fulfilment rates at implemented facilities and improving staff quality. • Rotated across product teams as a technical lead, driving development in credentialing, scheduling, billing, and communications to accelerate delivery and strengthen system reliability. ### Software Developer @ Southern NetworX Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Greater Atlanta Area • Build a nonprofit management platform from backend data infrastructure and API integrations to frontend design • Devise project plans directed toward meeting strategic business and organizational objectives • Direct the coordination of implementation tasks involving third party vendors and businesses • Collaborate with designers and marketing personnel to ensure efficiency in delivering results to clients • Negotiate revisions of sales contracts and participate in constructing a user terms and privacy agreement ### Research Assistant @ Fordham University School of Law Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Greater New York City Area • Research and analyze case law, legislative history, and secondary sources related to online defamation • Cross-reference case law materials from different sources to identify and collect pertinent and useful information for articles and presentations • Edit drafts and citations of legal journal articles on online defamation and judicial austerity ### Summer Intern @ Hogan Lovells Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Hong Kong • Composed a comparative analysis on the enforcement of competition law in Hong Kong, the United States, and the European Union • Briefed cases on business and employment law subjects such as liquidation and restrictive covenants • Drafted legal memoranda regarding civil and criminal issues under Hong Kong law ### Summer Intern @ South Toranomon Law Offices Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 • Utilized Japanese and English materials to construct legal memoranda comparing Japanese and American copyright, patent, and trademark law • Identified and summarized statutory provisions relevant to current cases of alleged copyright infringement • Observed courtroom proceedings in summary courts and the Intellectual Property High Court ### Translator @ “The Monarch Stone” by Artur Balder Jan 2012 – Jan 2013 • Translated a 99,000-word (120-page) novel, from English to Traditional and Simplified Chinese • Produced several related Wikipedia pages (including footnotes) • Maintained constant communication with the author in order to accurately port technical and invented vocabulary ### Business Intelligence Analyst @ Continuity Partners Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 • Utilized internal and external resources to consolidate databases of qualifying candidates • Engaged in conference calls and company meetings to interpret client needs • Reached out to potential candidates for various open positions through social media ### Marketing Intern @ POPBAR Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 | Greater New York City Area • Spearhead lead generation effort for firm’s nationwide distribution network • Created social media messages and ad campaigns towards target audiances • Managed hundreds of commercial invoices with order sizes averaging $750 ### Graphic Design Summer Intern @ Chau, Ku & Leung Architects & Engineers Jan 2011 – Jan 2011 • Prepared presentation materials for design teams and pitched various color scheme designs • Complemented a unified structure for the firm’s AutoCAD layering system to improve efficiency • Contributed to the design team by creating thematic color schemes for a residential building project ### Data Analyst Intern @ BrandGames Jan 2011 – Jan 2011 • Documented the Deloitte VTC talent scouting project for over 28,000 participants • Arranged conference materials and outbound marketing emails to attract potential clients • Edited graphics and documents in Adobe PS3, AI3 & ID3 to be used in developing simulations ### Full-time Summer Trainee @ King & Wood Mallesons Jan 2007 – Jan 2007 • Organized documents and files into the company archive electronically • Accompanied company employees to court hearings at the Hong Kong High Court ##
