# Mark Buckner > Senior Software Engineer at Exygy Location: Bozeman, Montana, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/markbuckner I think the most important thing a person can do in a lifetime is improve the lives of others, and I believe technology can be a big part of that. I'm a full-stack engineer with over 10 years of experience across a wide range of technology stacks. I've had the honor to work in important spaces including affordable housing, childcare, caregiving, education, veteran assistance, and reentry for justice-involved. Nothing matches the fulfillment of deploying code and knowing it might help someone find housing or funding for their daycare. My engineering background has naturally expanded into analytics, customer support, dev ops, and business development as I’ve seen how technical decisions ripple through entire user experiences and business sustainability. I've also learned the importance of communication - being a clear translator between technical complexity and human needs often determines whether great technology actually reaches the people who need it most ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer II @ Exygy Jan 2022 – Present Exygy partners with social impact organizations to design and build technology that improves lives.

The course was 3-6 months long, taught at nights and weekends, and was broken up by a period of lectures and exercises designed to familiarize students with every piece of a full-stack application and a period of building applications to be shown to the public. The tech stack was dependent on the application built and the needs of the students, but we’d start with React - Express - PostgreSQL. ### Full Time Instructor @ Montana Code School Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Bozeman I taught web development at the Montana Code School, a non-profit that utilizes Agile methodologies and other progressive strategies to cultivate skills and interests that can start a career in technology.
