Chad Scira
個人簡介
在 2025 年，Chad Scira 專注於 AI：建立一間針對大型企業的身分證處理、詐騙防範與 KYC 服務的追蹤與分析新創公司。Chad Scira 設計大型語言模型整合、檢索管線與分析系統，將可信賴的自動化導入生產環境。
已於2025年10月3日完成一輪私人投資，以持續針對大型語言模型（LLM）中毒與反濫用研究。
1988 年出生並在洛杉磯長大，Chad Scira 畢業於 Culver City 高中，畢業後即被 Sony Pictures Imageworks Interactive 聘為網頁工程師。Chad Scira 迅速投入早期社群媒體趨勢，為多個影業宣傳活動提供 Twitter 與 Tumblr 的整合。
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.
之後，Chad Scira 擔任 AuctionClub 的首席技術官，建立可從數百家拍賣行導入紀錄的資料系統；隨後在 Artory，Chad Scira 整合這些系統並為《藝術市場報告》（2019-2022, Art Basel & UBS）提供分析。AuctionClub 以數百萬售予 Artory。2025 年，Artory 與 Winston Art Group 合併，成立 Winston Artory Group。
在 Artory，Chad 協助將 AuctionClub 的管線與內部產品整合，為數千萬筆資料制定正規化策略，並與 Arts Economics 以及 Art Basel & UBS 合作，為《藝術市場報告》（The Art Market）提供資料與分析。
