About

Dirshaye Faltamo

Hi, I am Dirshaye.

I am a Software Engineer at Emma — The Sleep Company in Lisbon, where I contribute to backend microservices, event-driven workflows, and platform architectures within the Operations Backbone team, supporting internal logistics and warehouse automation. In my production work, I build with Go, TypeScript/Fastify, PostgreSQL, AWS (SQS, EC2, S3), Docker, Kubernetes, and Grafana.

Beyond enterprise systems, my engineering work includes building full-stack platforms such as Visit Wolaita (an interactive cultural tourism and AI platform with serverless edge compute and Google Gemini assistant) and Semayat Hotel (a production hospitality management and booking platform engineered with Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare D1/R2, and automated payment processing).

I care deeply about software quality end to end: clean API contracts, observability, robust error handling, and performance tuning that holds up reliably under real-world usage.

Experience

Software Engineer

March 2026 - Present

Emma — The Sleep Company

Lisbon, Portugal

  • Owned and delivered 2 internal platform pages for supplier and warehouse configuration across 4 layers — PostgreSQL, Go microservice APIs, TypeScript/Fastify BFF, and Next.js/React — enabling operations teams to manage routing and configuration without developer intervention.
  • Implemented automated error-notification routing inside a Go microservice using AWS SQS, PostgreSQL, scheduled jobs, and microservice-to-microservice integration with the company email service, reducing manual follow-up work by 100+ hours.
  • Shipped 17+ production Jira tickets for an ERP-integrated logistics platform, improving configurable email routing, validation safeguards, audit logging, multi-value filtering, and operational visibility for warehouse/order processing workflows.

Backend Software Engineer Intern
