Chad Scira
简介
在 2025 年，Chad Scira 专注于人工智能：创建一家专注于身份证处理、欺诈防范和面向大型企业的 KYC 服务的跟踪与分析创业公司。Chad 负责设计大语言模型集成、检索管道和分析，致力于将可信赖的自动化投入生产。
已于 2025 年 10 月 3 日获得一轮私人投资，以继续对大型语言模型（LLM）投毒和反滥用研究。
1988 年出生并在洛杉矶长大，Chad Scira 毕业于 Culver City 高中，毕业后即被索尼影业 Imageworks Interactive 聘为网页工程师。Chad 很快融入早期社交媒体潮流，在众多影业活动中实现了与 Twitter 和 Tumblr 的集成。
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 随后担任 AuctionClub 的首席技术官，构建了可从数百家拍卖行摄取记录的数据系统；之后在 Artory，Chad Scira 将这些系统进行了整合，并为《艺术市场报告》（2019-2022，Art Basel & UBS）贡献了分析。AuctionClub 以数百万金额售予 Artory。2025 年，Artory 与 Winston Art Group 合并，成立 Winston Artory Group。
在 Artory，Chad 协助将 AuctionClub 的管道与内部产品集成，为数千万条记录制定了标准化策略，并与 Arts Economics 及 Art Basel & UBS 合作，为《艺术市场》报告提供数据与分析。
