Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohit Salecha is a Principal Security Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience transforming product and cloud security through "shift-left" practices and automation-first thinking. He has led security programs at major tech companies—driving threat modeling, secure SDLC adoption, and CI/CD-integrated controls across cloud-native environments at organizations including Amazon, Disney+ Hotstar, and Zynga. A pragmatist and mentor, Rohit blends deep offensive and defensive expertise (manual code review, pentesting, and tooling) with a relentless focus on Infrastructure as Code and "security as code" to scale developer-friendly protections. He champions Secure AI initiatives and builds secure systems that balance resiliency, compliance, and developer velocity. Beyond engineering, he authors practical IaC guidance and has a track record of turning complex architectures into automated, observable, and auditable deployments. Based in Mumbai, he’s driven by the credo of making security teams increasingly irrelevant by embedding repeatable, codified safeguards into engineering workflows.
