Perpendicular Systems™
Structure - Space - Direction - Flow
Perpendicular Systems™ is an independent AI systems architecture and Tiny Tech™ development practice focused on modular workflows, local-first systems, and compositional application design.
Designed referencing the Enterprise Architectures of large companies, but pivoted for the individual's perspective, my approach is called Enterprise Architecture for Individuals™, or EAI™.
Perpendicular Systems™ develops modular AI-enabled systems, compositional workflows, and Tiny Tech™ infrastructure for independent operators, creators, and small organizations.
We operate orthogonal to existing systems, platforms and infrastructures, outlining common solutions for local-first, independent and lightly connected developers in edge computing environments, middle and SMB market operators and high-bandwidth models such as network music performance and production and distribution.
Human-Centered Architecture™
Repositioning organizations and platforms as enabling structures around the individual.
Traditional systems often position individuals inside organizational and platform-controlled structures.
Perpendicular Systems™ proposes a human-centered orchestration model.
A human-centered architecture where organizations, technologies, and AI systems operate as enabling layers around the individual — supporting identity, continuity, creativity, communication, and self-directed orchestration.
This model does not replace existing systems.
It reorganizes the relationship between:
- people,
- platforms,
- and institutions
to support more composable and user-directed environments.
Our Approach
Perpendicular Systems at PerpendicularSystems.com
Taking inspiration from past experience, but focusing now on the systems of individuals, the model has evolved accordingly.
Our Technology Division, Perpendicular Systems, develops Virtual Distributed Symbolic SaaSish User-Composed Components called "SaaSi Cubes"™ designed for artists, musicians, individuals and small businesses.
Our Virtual Harmonics "Deliberately Disaggregated Architecture Model"™, or DDAM, allows for the integration and processing of both real and imaginary associations between data on different planes of operation and in different systems.

AI & Enterprise Architecture Consultant | Designing Systems That Actually Work Across People, Process, and Technology
Built referencing the Enterprise Architectures of large companies, my approach is "Enterprise Architecture for Individuals", or EAI.
Photo is my presentation at the DCI Enterprise Architecture Conference in 1999 about Ernst & Young's Enterprise Architecture Department which I designed.
I design and stabilize complex systems—across identity, finance, and data—when existing approaches break down.
Consulting Focus
I help organizations and individuals operate in environments where technology, structure, and human behavior are out of alignment.
My work sits at the intersection of enterprise architecture, AI, and human-centered system design, including:
- Enterprise architecture models and system design
- Program and governance structures for complex initiatives
- Cross-domain system integration (financial, identity, and data systems)
Prior to founding Virtual Harmonics, I led the design and delivery of large-scale financial and technology systems at institutions including Visa, Wells Fargo, HSBC, American Express, and JPMorgan Chase.This work included:
- Global information security strategy
- Identity and access management architecture
- Transaction systems and financial infrastructure
- Regulatory-driven enterprise programs in highly regulated environments
These images are cubic structures I used to represent the systems of a global professional services organization.
