About
BackgroundSerdar is an Information Technology Manager at Frontier Stem High School, part of a STEM-focused charter school network in Kansas City, Missouri. He holds a background in computer engineering from International Burch University.
Years spent inside the technology that increasingly shapes kids' daily lives gave him a close view of a gap: most AI-safety guides are written by people who don't fully understand how the technology works, and most technical explainers have no idea what it's like to worry about your own child. The IT Parent's Guide to AI was written to close that gap — no fear-mongering, no jargon, just a clear look at what AI chatbots and companion apps actually do.
