Forensic software

RUDA Forensics

Blockchain investigation software connecting visual transaction tracing, forensic analysis and evidence presentation.

Blockchain Investigation Platform

Creator and owner. Designed and developed RUDA Forensics to follow funds through blockchain transactions, examine relationships and organize an investigation from the money trail through to findings and presentation.

From transaction trail to findings

  1. Trace: expand address relationships on the investigation canvas, follow a selected transaction route and examine transfers, timing and amounts alongside the graph.
  2. Analyze: examine graph depth, loops and source exposure, then record patterns, contextual participant roles, notes and supporting material for review.
  3. Present: capture relevant graph material as findings, add explanatory artifacts, arrange presentation steps and assemble a brief that communicates the investigation.

Visual tracing & transaction analysis

Built an interactive investigation canvas for exploring address relationships, expanding transaction graphs, filtering records and following selected trace routes. Connected the graph with transaction details so investigators could examine transfers, timing and amounts in context.

Forensic patterns & review

Implemented tools for graph-depth and loop analysis, source-exposure calculations and investigator-authored pattern records. Built contextual participant roles, notes, supporting files and review states into the investigation workflow.

Findings & presentation

Developed tools to capture selected graph material and explanatory artifacts as findings, arrange presentation steps and assemble findings into briefs. Connected analysis with notes, images and supporting documents so investigators could explain the money trail within the same workspace.

AI investigation workflow design

Designed an AI-guided investigation experience around case context, focused tasks and review of proposed actions. Defined how conversational assistance would connect to tracing, pattern review and findings while keeping investigators in control of case changes.

The AI-guided experience is design work, distinct from the implemented tracing, analysis and findings tools described above.

Product engineering & ownership

Developed the React and TypeScript interface, server APIs, database persistence, transaction-data retrieval and caching. Implemented project access controls, collaborative comments, versioned state and audit logging to support investigation and review.

Created the branding, website and written content as part of the same product effort.
