Summary
Lana Chiad is a Web Engineer with nine years of front-end and full-stack experience, currently building branded web and app experiences at The New York Times. She combines strong UI skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React and Svelte with backend experience in Node, Go, Postgres and AWS from roles at Mount Sinai and earlier SaaS and healthcare projects. Lana has led ad and microsite builds, owned technical product features like biometric authentication, and contributed to tooling, documentation, and accessibility-minded team practices. A former technical writer and SEO copywriter with a BA in Technical Writing, she brings clear communication and product-minded thinking to engineering problems. Outside of work she writes and curates personal projects (lanachiad.github.io) and keeps a nostalgic sense of humor—“RIP GeoCities”—that hints at a long-running curiosity about web culture.
