Zangwei Zheng is a tech lead and Ph.D. candidate at the National University of Singapore with eight years of experience building AI-driven products and research systems. He led pretraining for the video generation model Open-Sora and directed the product development and launch of Video Ocean, a next-generation AI video creation platform at HPC-AI Tech. His background blends academic rigor—research internships at UC Berkeley and a Distinguished Paper Award–recognized project at ByteDance—with hands-on engineering delivering measurable improvements to recommendation and CTR systems. An active contributor to large-scale AI tooling, he has refined code quality in the ColossalAI project, focusing on communication, kernel, and memory-management modules for distributed deep learning. Based in Singapore, he combines full-stack development instincts with deep learning research, often smoothing the bridge from prototype to production.
