Jason Tielve and Omar Hafez Discuss AI in Fire Protection at the New York Stock Exchange

FireDesign.ai CEO Jason Tielve and Think Big Technology CEO and Founder Omar Hafez joined Jane King on NYSE Floor Talk to discuss how AI is transforming fire protection engineering.

The interview focuses on a practical challenge facing the industry: demand for fire protection design continues to grow while qualified engineers and designers remain in short supply. FireDesign.ai addresses that gap by combining domain expertise with AI-powered automation for sprinkler system design.

The conversation highlights how automation can modernize a decades-old workflow, accelerate project delivery, and help engineering teams scale output without compromising safety or compliance.

The broader vision extends beyond sprinkler systems. FireDesign.ai and Think Big Technology see fire protection as a starting point for automation across MEP disciplines, including fire alarms, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems.
