Hi, I'm Rohit_
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE · UNITED STATES
I build and test security systems that make attacks harder, detections sharper, and engineering teams safer.

01 / ABOUT
Break it, understand it, secure it.
I am a cybersecurity-focused computer science student who works across offensive security, detection engineering, and incident response.
My approach starts with the attacker: map the surface, validate the weakness, and translate the result into controls that engineering teams can actually maintain. I have monitored real alerts, tuned detections, tested web applications, and built secure development practices for student teams.
At Tennessee State University, I lead Google Developers Group and help other students grow as a peer tutor. I recently completed a Security Engineering internship at Amazon.

AM
Security Engineer Intern
Amazon
- Conducted a hardware-security assessment of a proposed AWS EC2 feature flag affecting AMD processors used in cloud instances.
- Analyzed six CPU performance-monitoring events for side-channel vulnerabilities that could allow cross-customer observation.
- Applied Prime + Probe and Flush + Reload academic attack techniques to evaluate practical hardware-level risk.
- Delivered a formal security recommendation to the Nitro Hypervisor team, including safe-deployment conditions.
