About
I'm Tabrez, a Full Stack Developer with a strong background in building software solutions.
Plainly spoken - I explain things clearly and concisely. I enjoy finding and building simple, reliable solutions that work well.
Happy to help out on new projects or if you need an extra pair of hands.
Over the years, I've been involved in some interesting projects such as:
- An Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) for the NHS (Mizaic).
- An online community engagement platform to allow residents to provide feedback on developments in their community (Commonplace).
- Building a platform for Data Scientists to manage their simulations (Sandtable).
- Family history software to help genealogists build and research their family trees (Findmypast).
I have a wide range of skills from designing databases, building backend APIs and developing the front-end with modern technologies such as TypeScript, React, and Tailwind.
Skills
Right now, my main interests are building web apps with React, TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB, and Tailwind CSS for styling.

My Projects
Here are some of the projects that I am working on now.
I play the guitar as a hobby and enjoy collecting different types of guitars and gear.
I also like seeing what other people have in their collection.
This full-stack app is my take on building a supportive place for musicians to upload,
browse, and show off their musical equipment.
The app has social media elements: users can like, comment, and discuss each other's gear,
helping build a community of musicians and gear enthusiasts who love sharing their setups and getting
inspiration from others.
Technical details:
• Backend: Node.js + Express with Mongoose and MongoDB
• Authentication: Custom JWT based login (passwordless) for convenient user sign-up
• Frontend: React with Context API for global state management and Tailwind CSS for fast, responsive styling
It's a passion project that combines my love for musical instruments with software development, focused on speed, usability, and bringing musicians together around the gear they love.
I'm currently on a weight loss journey so I wrote this to keep track of my progress.
There are plenty of weight loss trackers out there, but I wanted to build one that was private and ad free.
The app is built with plain JavaScript and Chart.js. I chose to build inside Astro.js for convenience as it already has routing and markdown support built-in.
I built this app as a way of keeping the score during a tennis match.
Sometimes during a long match, it's easy to forget! The UI is designed to be as simple as possible, with only 2 buttons to control the score.
To build this project, I used React with the Context API and styled it using BeerCSS for a Material theme.
The module to model the tennis score is built with a Test-Driven approach using Jest, since tennis scoring has a lot of edge cases that can easily slip through without tests.
