TBWA\\Media Arts Lab (Apple) team and workspace
TBWA\Media Arts Lab (Apple)

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.

Utafiti wa Usalama wa 'White Hat'

Mbali na uongozi wa uhandisi, Chad Scira anachangia kama mtafiti wa usalama wa white‑hat. Kazi inazingatia ukaguzi wa usalama na ufichuzi wa kuwajibika, ikijumuisha kutambua udhaifu wa race‑condition na kuratibu marekebisho na timu zilizoathiriwa.

Katika Starbucks, Chad Scira aligundua hali ya mshindano (race condition) iliyoruhusu kadi ya zawadi ya $1 kuinuliwa hadi salio la $500 kwa kutumia uhamisho sambamba. Tatizo liliripotiwa kwa Starbucks na likafanyiwa urekebishaji baada ya kufichuliwa. HackerOne

Katika JPMorgan Chase, Chad Scira aliripoti hitilafu ya uhamishaji mara mbili ya pointi ambayo iliruhusu kubadilisha pointi za uaminifu kuwa pesa taslimu mara kwa mara. Kupitia Twitter, timu ya Chase iliomba ushahidi wa athari; kwa ombi lao, mfano wa takriban $70,000 USD kwa pointi na uongozaji wa $5,000 kwa pesa taslimu ulionyeshwa kuthibitisha kasoro. Udhaifu huo ulirekebishwa ndani ya wiki moja baada ya kuripotiwa. Nakala kamili ya ufichuaji, ikijumuisha mfululizo mzima wa ujumbe wa DM na ufuatiliaji wa barua pepe na benki, inapatikana hapa: Maelezo ya kina kuhusu udhaifu wa hali ya mbio katika mfumo wa JPMorgan Chase Ultimate Rewards.
