Nauman holds a PhD in security and completed postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute for Software
Systems in Germany, where the focus was specifically on the applications of security in machine learning
and AI. This combination of formal security expertise and deep familiarity with the machine learning
systems that underpin modern AI coding tools is directly relevant to the subject matter of this book, and is
rare.
Over a career spanning more than 25 years, he has taught security and related technical subjects at the
undergraduate and postgraduate levels at university, as well as through online platforms, where a current
Udemy student base of over 24,000 reflects both the breadth of the audience and the effectiveness of the
pedagogical approach. He brings both the theoretical depth to explain why security failures happen at a
structural level and the classroom experience to translate that understanding into something a working
developer can act on immediately.
