Hello 👋, I'm Emil COZMA!
From Software Developer to Cybersecurity Analyst: A Journey of Growth and Reinvention
Welcome to my digital corner of the internet. I’m a seasoned software developer with over a decade of experience building full-stack applications and collaborating with teams across the globe. But today, I’m on a new path-one that’s leading me into the dynamic, high-stakes world of cybersecurity.
This blog documents my personal and professional transition from writing secure code to securing entire systems. You’ll find honest reflections, practical resources, learning roadmaps, project breakdowns, certifications, and hands-on experiences as I shift into the role of a cybersecurity analyst. My goal is to bring you along on this journey-whether you're a fellow developer considering a pivot, an aspiring analyst starting from scratch, or someone who simply wants to understand what cybersecurity looks like from the ground up.
Expect articles on threat analysis, vulnerability management, SOC operations, ethical hacking, and how development knowledge gives an edge in securing modern applications. I’ll also share insights on industry certifications, building a cybersecurity portfolio, and breaking into the field with real-world, actionable steps.
Thanks for being here. Let’s grow, break, secure, and build-together.
