木澤翔太 Kizawa is the CEO and founder of GZED, steering AI solutions that modernize core industries—energy, manufacturing, construction, and logistics—with a mission to preserve these sectors for future generations. A University of Tokyo computer science master's student and incoming doctoral candidate, he blends deep academic research (including work on the Strong Lottery Tickets Hypothesis) with product-focused engineering. Over six years he has built cloud-native, high-throughput systems using Rust, Go, GCP and Kubernetes across roles at PLAID, Preferred Networks, and infrastructure startups, and has hands-on experience in compiler and language tooling. He contributed to the PRQL open-source project by enhancing its parser and SQL translation capabilities, demonstrating both language-design and backend engineering skills. His background spans ML research on LLM agents and production-grade distribution and data platforms, enabling him to translate cutting-edge research into scalable industry applications. Based in Tokyo, he combines founder-level strategic vision with low-level systems craftsmanship, often surfacing non-obvious optimizations from compiler to cloud.
