Sofia Alere

Full-stack software engineer based in Chicago - adept in Ruby and Node.js ecosystems.

I loved my previous career as a team member on luxury yachts because each day brought new challenges, allowing me to creatively problem solve. Additionally, in an environment where collaboration was paramount, I had the opportunity to consistently apply and refine my teamwork skills.

My passion for new challenges along with my compulsion to organize drives me to pursue more and more interesting software projects!

Most recently, a team of engineers and I built Sundial, a cron job monitoring and management system.

Sundial

Sundial is an open-source cron job monitoring and management system that provides job execution data and alerts, centralized error logs, and the ability to perform CRUD operations on jobs in crontabs across one or multiple nodes.

For the developer, Sundial eliminates the silently failing cron jobs, the dreaded emailed error logs, and the need to type anything in your built in text editor.

Built on Node.js using Express, React, pg-boss, and backed by a PostgreSQL db.

Ease of deployment provided by Docker and pkg - much thanks!
