Security Analyst IoT Pentester 6+ Years in Security
 
## About
 

➜ I'm Khushal Mistry, a Security Analyst with 6+ years of experience across multiple security domains. I've done it all — web apps, Android, iOS, network pentesting, source code review, and thick client assessments.

➜ But when I discovered IoT security, everything changed. I fell in love with breaking into connected devices. For the last 2+ years, I've been hunting vulnerabilities in IoT ecosystems — and I haven't looked back.

➜ Currently at NetSquare, I handle multiple IoT security projects single-handedly. Alongside my job, I do my own research — testing smart cameras, routers, and custom hardware — because breaking things is how I learn best.

➜ I believe there's no proper IoT-specific certification out there. So instead of collecting certificates, I'm sharing my knowledge and experience with the community — because growing together matters more.
