Ali Murtaza Bhutto

AI Security Engineer . OSINT and Digital Forensics

MSc Cybersecurity (SZABIST, Sindh HEC Indigenous Scholar) who builds production security systems across OSINT, digital forensics, and applied AI. Work spans intelligence-acquisition pipelines, cryptographic chain-of-custody tooling, agentic multi-agent systems, and the frameworks that keep open-source intelligence defensible and lawful. Currently building a multi-framework compliance platform at Complai and deploying multi-agent systems at OWS (openworkforce.systems).

Selected Projects and Research

forenix-oss . open-source OSINT-to-evidence platform

Turns public-source intelligence into tamper-evident, audit-ready evidence: a SHA-256 forward-chained audit log, three independent attestation backends (local, GitHub, Sigstore Rekor), and a multi-agent OSINT pipeline across six LLM providers, with an optional SAT auditability trace. TypeScript, Next.js, Prisma. Live at forenix.tech.

lattice . accountability layer for multi-agent AI

Content-addressed, cryptographically signed claim graphs with a revocation waterfall for autonomous multi-agent systems. Python.

agentic-osint-agent . autonomous public-source OSINT

LangGraph ReAct agent over five read-only OSINT tools (WHOIS, DNS, Shodan InternetDB, GitHub dorks, Wayback) with a deterministic evidence ledger and a real 20-target benchmark.

llm-red-team-toolkit . OWASP LLM Top 10 probing

Adversarial harness of 47 probes plus 8 jailbreaks mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025), with a deterministic heuristic scorer and a runtime authorization gate.

ai-governance-checker . LLM governance audit

Pre-deployment risk evaluation of LLM system prompts against the OWASP LLM Top 10, NIST AI RMF 1.0, and the EU AI Act, with a reproducible labelled eval (rules-only F1 0.96).

rag-threat-intel . sovereign threat-intel RAG

Retrieval-augmented CVE and threat-intel Q&A on Ollama, pgvector, and FastAPI, comparing three chunking strategies with MRR and answer-faithfulness evaluation.
