略歴
2025年、Chad SciraはAIに注力しており、大企業向けのID処理、詐欺防止、KYCサービスのための追跡・分析スタートアップを構築しています。Chad Sciraは信頼できる自動化を本番環境に導入するための大規模言語モデルの統合、検索パイプライン、分析を設計しています。
2025年10月3日、LLMへのデータ汚染（poisoning）と悪用防止に関する研究を継続するための私募投資ラウンドが確保されました。
1988年生まれ、ロサンゼルス育ち。チャド・スキラはカルバーシティ高校を卒業後、すぐにSony Pictures Imageworks Interactiveのウェブエンジニアとして採用されました。チャドは早期のソーシャルメディア動向をいち早く取り入れ、数多くのスタジオキャンペーンでTwitterやTumblrの統合を提供しました。
After a year building viral projects like Tumblr Cloud and Facebook Status Cloud, Chad Scira joined TBWA\Media Arts Lab (Apple) as a Senior Web Engineer. Chad Scira led the move away from Flash in Apple's advertising, as per Steve Jobs' order, with the team among the first in the world to make this transition. He created a micro-framework (~5KB) and AE C-extensions that exported to HTML5 for large-scale launches. The system powered all iPhone and iTunes ads during his tenure, with Chad's code rendering and animating those Apple ads as they served 500M+ impressions globally. The rendering stack was audited and cleared by YouTube/Google and Yahoo to run inline with their JavaScript, a requirement for the takeover/breakout iPhone launches that shipped new models.
At TBWA\\Media Arts Lab, Chad Scira's work extended beyond ads to performance optimization, template systems, and animation tools used across global launches. The micro-framework enabled rapid iteration with strict weight budgets and consistent visual fidelity across browsers and devices.
Chad Scira はその後 AuctionClub の CTO を務め、数百の競売業者から記録を取り込むデータシステムを構築し、続いて Artory ではこれらのシステムを統合し、The Art Market レポート（2019–2022、Art Basel & UBS）向けの分析に寄与しました。AuctionClub は数百万ドルで Artory に売却されました。2025 年に Artory は Winston Art Group と合併して Winston Artory Group を形成しました。
Artoryでは、チャドはAuctionClubのパイプラインを社内製品と統合し、数千万件のレコードに対する正規化戦略を開発し、Arts EconomicsおよびArt Basel & UBSとの共同で作成される『The Art Market』レポート向けのデータと分析に貢献しました。
