About Rohith Chandra Shekaran Nair
I’m a cybersecurity engineering graduate student from the University of Maryland with a strong foundation in payments risk, scheme compliance, and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), backed by five years of industry experience at PayPal and Venmo. My background uniquely blends hands-on cybersecurity engineering with deep exposure to card networks, payment regulations, fraud risk, and operational compliance.My academic training spans network and information security, cryptography, cloud security, incident response, and secure systems design, enabling me to assess security risks across both technical infrastructure and regulated financial ecosystems.Professionally, I spent close to five years at PayPal/Venmo, progressing from Risk Operations Analyst to Senior Risk Analyst. In this role, I worked extensively within payments and scheme-driven environments, supporting fraud prevention, operational risk management, and compliance-aligned decision making.More recently, my work has focused on scheme compliance and payments governance, where I regularly analyze complex business models, transaction flows, merchant setups, and regulatory obligations across Visa, Mastercard and other scheme frameworks. What sets me apart is my ability to bridge cybersecurity, payments, and GRC—connecting technical risk with regulatory expectations and business impact. I’m known for my analytical mindset, clarity in communication, and ability to operate effectively across engineering, risk, compliance, and product teams.I’m passionate about roles where payments, security, and governance intersect, and I’m eager to contribute to organizations that value strong risk frameworks, compliance, and secure, scalable systems.Let’s connect if you’re interested in collaborating on payments, cybersecurity, GRC, or risk-driven problem solving.
