# Banothu Suresh on Tal

## Headline

Software Developer @ Pepper Square \| B\.Tech IIT Bombay 23\.

## About

I'm a full\-stack engineer, which mostly means I like building the whole thing — the API, the database, and the screen people actually click on — and making sure none of it breaks when real users show up\. Right now I'm at Pepper Square, leading a project where I built out a NestJS API and a React web portal as one connected codebase\. It's the kind of work I enjoy: figuring out auth flows, wiring up payments so they don't double\-charge anyone, keeping things running on AWS even when the systems we depend on go down\. A lot of it is just making sure the boring stuff works reliably, every time\. Before that I was at I\-PAC, building real\-time dashboards during election campaigns — taking raw voter data from 175 seats and turning it into something the teams on the ground could actually use to make decisions\. Fast\-moving, high\-pressure, and a great place to learn\. When I'm not working, I build things to push myself further\. I made a real\-time chat app that can handle 500\+ people connected at once without dropping messages, and I'm working on a self\-hosted AI assistant that can answer questions from my own notes\. I learn best by building something hard and figuring it out as I go\. I studied Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay\. These days I care most about writing code that's clean, easy to work with, and built to last — and helping the people around me do the same\. I mostly work with TypeScript, Node\.js, NestJS, React, Next\.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and AWS\. Always happy to connect with people building interesting things\.
