I am a final-year CS Ph.D. student at Stanford University. I am a member of Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Lab and LMCache. My advisor is Kunle Olukotun. I have also been working with James Zou, Junchen Jiang, and Muhammad Shahbaz. I obtained my Bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago.

I build AI systems that continuously learn from experience and improve over time, e.g., Caravan, Agentic Plan Caching, Agentic Context Engineering (ACE), Meta-Harness.

The pronunciation of my first name (Qizheng) is very close to that of “keygen” in public key encryption. I also go by Alex.
