From Math & IT gifted class to becoming a Turing Frontier Fellow Leading AI

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.

But for me, this journey did not begin with ChatGPT or the current generative-AI wave.

In 1993, I was studying in a Math & IT gifted class.

Later, as an architect and architectural-visualization founder, I built computers, configured rendering servers and render farms, and spent years working across:

Architecture → 3D → animation → rendering → BIM-adjacent workflows → real-time technology → VR/AR → AI

The technology kept changing, but the question stayed surprisingly consistent:

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

That question eventually led me to build one architecture-native technology ecosystem in three deliberately staged layers:

A2Viz AI — Visual Workflow
Existing architectural project context → controlled images → motion → client-ready visual communication.

DnBOM — Lifecycle Intelligence
Design intent → BIM → specifications → cost → procurement → construction → handover, with human-governed AI.

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

These are not three unrelated ideas.

They represent one longer-term mission:

Preserve design intent and project intelligence from idea → visualization → lifecycle delivery → spatial interaction.

Today, A2Viz AI is the live commercial layer and my near-term focus. It has reached 58 registered users, 5 paying customers, 2 company accounts, and 1 annual company subscription, with interest spanning 81 countries.

We are now going deeper into architecture-native workflows: C2I from Revit, SketchUp, 3ds Max, CAD and drawings, and C2V—where users can bring architectural project data, define the camera path, and move toward generated architectural video.

I still have a tremendous amount to learn and build.

Becoming a Turing Frontier Fellow does not feel like the beginning of this journey.

It feels like another milestone in one that has been developing for more than three decades.

The tools change. Curiosity doesn’t.

How far back does the foundation behind what you’re building today actually go?

Built for architects. Designed for workflow.
