Ruhan Waghmare

Cloud Security Analyst with experience securing AWS and Azure environments through cloud security policies, CSPM, infrastructure as code, and security automation. I specialize in identifying configuration and control gaps, implementing preventative guardrails, and building Python-based solutions to improve cloud security visibility and reduce manual effort. My experience includes securing AI/ML workloads, developing AWS SCP and Azure policy controls, and supporting secure deployments with Terraform, ARM, and CloudFormation.

I hold a B.S. in Physics with a minor in Data Science Engineering from UCLA and am pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, with a focus on strengthening my expertise in cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and expanding security specialities.
