Chicago, Illinois · Open to software engineering roles
I’m Nouraldin Farge, a software engineer who carries user-facing products from interface and application logic through data design, testing, and release. Three shipped Windows products and one source-free case study make the evidence inspectable.

Start with the outcome, then follow exact links to the implementation, immutable release, methodology, or bounded public evidence.
A local-first historical lottery research workbench that makes data lineage, methodology, and product limits visible instead of presenting patterns as predictions.
What I owned: Product architecture · data policy · research method · verification · release approval
React · Rust/Tauri · Python · SQLite
A portable game library and launcher with a review-gated archive intake pipeline for user-owned files and an intentionally narrow filesystem boundary.
What I owned: Architecture · ZIP safety model · recovery design · technical review · release approval
React · Rust/Tauri · SQLite
A 13-lesson local-first learning environment that connects decision plans, historical replay, paper practice, journaling, reflection, and spaced review without live recommendations.
What I owned: Product direction · learning architecture · financial-safety boundary · verification · release approval
React · Rust/Tauri · local JSON · Zod
A private Electron/React workflow that keeps source data read-only, stages untrusted model output, requires human approval, and publishes only redistribution-safe evidence.
What I owned: Product direction · extraction architecture · trust boundaries · prompt/eval strategy · release approval
Electron · React · TypeScript · Express · SQLite

Reader and Media Scout are ready for engineering review while their release gates remain open. SiteWipe remains visibly gated. None is presented as a shipped product, supported download, or extension-store release.
Chrome MV3 prereleaseA local-first, permission-scoped Chrome extension for inspecting and saving browser-visible media you are authorized to use.
Current boundary: No tag, GitHub Release, supported binary, or Chrome Web Store listing; manual Chrome/Brave, assistive-technology, final artifact/privacy, and release-approval gates remain open.
JavaScript · Manifest V3 · Chrome APIs · Playwright · CodeQL
Public-source Windows alphaA local-first Windows reading library for EPUB, PDF, text, and authorized audio, with IndexedDB persistence and a least-privilege Rust/Tauri shell.
Current boundary: No GitHub Release or supported binary; the Windows CI candidate is unsigned, and the clean Windows 10/11 install, upgrade, uninstall, and residual-data matrix remains open.
JavaScript · IndexedDB · Rust/Tauri · Playwright · axe
A safety-engineering project for reviewed, target-scoped browser-data cleanup in a Manifest V3 extension.
Current boundary: The public main branch remains a prerelease, and installed-browser, accessibility, media, privacy-hosting, and release-approval gates remain open. There is no supported binary or extension-store listing.

Engineering ownership
Destructive, ambiguous, or unsupported paths stop safely and require explicit review.
User data stays understandable, portable, recoverable, and outside unnecessary services.
Tests, checksums, SBOMs, provenance, and manual gates travel with the release claim.
AI agents assist with research, implementation, testing, and iteration. I own product direction, architecture, technical review, validation criteria, safety and licensing boundaries, data-source decisions, and final release approval. Agent output is treated as untrusted until it passes repository checks and human review.
Available for software engineering roles
I’m especially interested in user-facing React/TypeScript products, full-stack application workflows, local-first systems, and release engineering.
