Case study 06 / Business & design
Prisma / In development
Building Prisma from the systems up.
Prisma is a business I am building alongside my broader technical work. Its infrastructure planning provides another place to apply systems thinking, from understanding requirements to communicating a proposed design.
Business initiative · In development
01 / The context
A foundation for what comes next.
An infrastructure proposal needs to connect requirements with a design someone can understand, operate, and maintain. The work starts before equipment is selected.
02 / The approach
How the pieces fit.
Frame the requirements
Use the infrastructure design process to connect needs, constraints, and technical choices.
Make the design legible
Communicate architecture through diagrams and supporting documentation.
Build the foundation
Develop Prisma as an evolving initiative, with public examples kept separate from any private business or customer material.
03 / What it demonstrates
Technical work, in context.
Prisma is presented here as work in development. Public design material can show the reasoning behind a proposal without implying completed customer deployments or results.
Design considerations
- Start with requirements and constraints before selecting equipment.
- Make the proposed design understandable to the person who will maintain it.
- Keep planned work clearly identified as in development.
