Spencer Kiser

Hello there!

I’m an engineering leader with over 20 years of experience driving digital transformation and innovation in museums and cultural institutions.

At The Metropolitan Museum of Art, I currently serve as Senior Manager of Application Development, where I lead a team responsible for modernizing metmuseum.org through a transition from legacy systems to a modern cloud-based architecture.

In earlier roles at the Met, I designed and built the ETL pipelines and APIs behind the museum’s collection pages and Open Access, and managed the mobile ecosystem—including The Met App, Audio Guide, and in-gallery interactives.

Before joining the Met, I worked in Digital at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), where I contributed to the development of moma.org the native MoMA Audio+ apps, and various experimental gallery experiences.

My background combines field recording and sound design with a long-standing practice in web development. I hold a master’s from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), where I explored how sound, space, and technology intersect to create compelling, human-centered experiences.
