In addition, she codes in C++ and Javascript as a Senior Web Standards Engineer. She received a BSE in computer science from Princeton University.[1] She is an invited expert in the CSS Working Group and is an editor of 50 CSS specifications. [2]She started her career in QA at Mozilla and later moved to Apple as a software engineer.[3]

At the Web Engines Hackfest in 2019, Etemad defined a standard as: "an agreement on technically precise criteria so that we can consistently repeat something". She also compared a standard to: "Hot water knobs. Paper sizes. Measuring soil properties. Displaying a Web page."[4][5]

On CSS day in 2019 at Web Conferences Amsterdam, Etemad presented on line layout in CSS grid.[6]

Etemad describes herself as "a cross between a 17-year-old girl and a 35-year-old engineer, and is otherwise hard to identify".[7]
