I build secure cloud systems and use AI to move good ideas into production.
Cloud foundations, security in the delivery path, and AI with a clear purpose.
Repeatable infrastructure. Observable workloads. Practical guardrails from the first deploy. I care about cloud foundations that are easy to operate and hard to get wrong.
Bring security into the developer workflow: scan containers, automate checks, and make useful feedback part of CI/CD. Give teams a clear path from commit to production.
I’m exploring agentic workflows that turn clear context into useful code. Small changes, fast feedback, and human review keep the path from idea to production grounded.
A few problems I have worked on.
Cloud security / 2025
Putting practical controls and operational visibility in place for AWS GovCloud workloads.
Implemented controls required for FedRAMP certification, with OpenSearch SIEM and PagerDuty supporting operational visibility.
DevSecOps / 2024
Bring container scanning into CI/CD and make security part of the developer workflow.
Secured DevOps operations on AWS and streamlined developer workflows with container scanning and AWS ECR.
Automation / 2021-2023
Turn cloud telemetry into useful monitoring and automated alerts that reach the team.
Built Azure Sentinel workbooks and Logic Apps workflows for Slack alerts, and deployed honeypots across AWS regions to collect threat intelligence.
A browser workspace for Counter-Strike 2 servers. Console, players, maps, and match controls in one place.
The person behind the work
I’m Rohitash, a Staff Threat Researcher at Zscaler. My work connects cloud security, developer workflows, and practical automation.
I’m exploring how AI coding agents, clear context, and repeatable checks can shorten the path from idea to production.
