Eswar Saladi · Keller, TX · hello@generalist.dev · github/gendev1
Backend engineer at Fidelity (Golang, TypeScript) shipping production fintech AI-natively — coding agents, custom skill libraries, spec-driven development — while building agentic tooling on the side.
## Experience
Nov 2024 — now
Software Engineer — Fidelity Investments
Westlake, TX · Golang, TypeScript, Kafka, MongoDB
- Led audit search migration off Elasticsearch to a purpose-built MongoDB query layer over 480M+ Kafka messages — 3.0s → 0.02s (150x), $100K/year saved.
- Designed the Kafka event layer for the Margin microservice; hardened Margin APIs with idempotent retries and transactional writes, closing TOCTOU races.
- Pitched an AI-first advisor-workflow platform PoC; in active development within two weeks. Delivered via an AI-native workflow — agents, skill library, specs.
Jul — Nov 2024
Founder — Solvitarka
Remote · Flutter, Breez SDK
- Built two Flutter products solo: a Lightning Network wallet (secured a Breez partnership) and an ops dashboard for a geotechnical firm. Wound down when validation stalled.
2022 — 2024
Developer — Northeastern Digital Scholarship Group
Boston, MA · part-time alongside MS
- Modernized the CERES Exhibit Toolkit — ES6 upgrade of a 7,000-line codebase, 50% fewer backend calls; rebuilt its legacy plugin as React Gutenberg blocks across 40+ sites.
Jan — Jun 2023
Software Engineer Co-op — Fidelity Investments
Boston, MA · Swift, Lightspark
- Built a Swift Bitcoin Lightning wallet PoC — QR payments and social features via Lightspark.
