25+ years before AI — today I became a Turing Frontier Fellow

Today I received some meaningful news: I was selected as a Turing Frontier Fellow — Class of 2026.

More than 13,000 people applied, and fewer than 4% were selected.

For me, however, this did not begin with the current generative-AI wave.

In 1993, I was studying Math & IT. Later, as an architect and visualization founder, I built computers, configured rendering servers and render farms, and spent years working across architectural visualization, 3D animation, rendering engines, real-time technology, VR/AR, BIM-adjacent workflows, and eventually AI.

The question behind that journey has remained surprisingly consistent:

How can technology help architects design, visualize, communicate, and work better?

Today I’m applying those lessons to an architecture-native technology ecosystem:

A2Viz AI — Visual Workflow
Project context → controlled images → motion → client-ready communication.

DnBOM — Lifecycle Intelligence
Design intent → BIM → specifications → cost → procurement → construction → handover.

airX Lab — Spatial Interface
Exploring how humans, AI agents, and machines may eventually interact with project information beyond traditional screens.

A2Viz AI is the live commercial layer today. It now has 58 registered users, 5 paying customers, 2 company accounts, and 1 annual company subscription, with usage signals across 81 countries.

I still have a tremendous amount to learn and build.

But this recognition means a lot because it connects a journey that began decades before AI became fashionable with what I am building today.

The tools change. Curiosity doesn’t.

I’d also love to hear from other Product Hunt makers: how far back does the foundation behind what you’re building today actually go?

Built for architects. Designed for workflow.
