Ship Reliable Backends
Hantsaniala Eléo, freelance Go & Python developer building APIs, microservices, and cloud infrastructure.
Why hire a freelance backend developer?
Hiring a full-time backend engineer is expensive and slow. Your API is sluggish. Your microservices are tangled. Your cloud bill keeps climbing.
You need someone who can step in, understand the system fast, and ship fixes, not someone who needs six months to ramp up.
I'm Hantsaniala, a freelance backend developer who has spent 10+ years building and scaling systems in Go and Python. I've shipped microservices for SaaS platforms, built REST and GraphQL APIs, and configured cloud infrastructure.
Whether you need a new API built from scratch, a legacy system migrated, or DevOps pipelines set up, I can start within days.
