Alfonso Gómez// a.k.a. Victor Stein
Full-stack TypeScript engineer · Managua, Nicaragua 🇳🇮
# SUMMARY
Full-stack TypeScript engineer with 10+ years shipping production software end to end — NestJS + GraphQL backends, React / Next.js frontends, React Native apps, and the CLIs, TUIs, and infra-as-code that make teams faster. I lead a team today, and the instinct hasn't changed since day one: when a process is fragile or repetitive, I build the tool that takes the human out of the path. I started in customer service — wrote my first program there to fix a problem that was costing me money — so I scope honestly, explain tradeoffs to non-technical people, and ship.
# EXPERIENCE
Engineering Team Lead
Lumenalta (formerly Clevertech)
- Led a succession of engineering teams as the product evolved — from the original mental-health video-conferencing platform we built, through its acquisition, to the teams behind everything that shipped after.
- Took a new menopause product to market across 11 markets on a record-time launch — a full rebrand of the platform, a ground-up renewal of its backend infrastructure, and a quiz-driven funnel for client acquisition.
- Led a rebuild of the company's video solution on newly acquired technology, with an Integrated API bridging legacy systems to the new stack (NestJS, GraphQL).
