Sovereign Resume // Nicholas MacAskill

Return to Site

The resume is a legacy standard—a product of a time when process was prioritized over proof. We have moved toward a build-first paradigm where output is the only verification needed. However, we respect that much of society still operates on these traditions and value their commitment to established process. This record exists to bridge that gap.

Nicholas Alexander MacAskill

architect of autonomous operating models

Complexity is the friction that obscures potential; alignment is the catalyst that makes technology glass. I operate as a fractional force multiplier, optimizing the glass viewport at Flocano Labs by blending abstraction, code, and user focus to accelerate design velocity. I bridge grassroots athlete development with full-stack iteration at EAST, incubate physical-digital hybrids at Infusion Drink, and extract algorithmic yield as a proprietary trader. Across my portfolio, I engineer sovereign systems where design, code, and capital efficiency converge into a single, autonomous truth—stripping the multidisciplinary stack of friction until the interface vanishes and the technology becomes glass.

glass stack

I. the infrastructure

The invisible architecture of verification. This is the logic layer designed to collapse latency and remove the "80-tool tax" through seamless, automated flows.

core architecture

Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript 5, Tailwind v4 (bleeding-edge production stack).

native architecture

SwiftUI, Combine, React Native (macOS/iOS sovereign).

the verified ledger

Supabase, Stripe Connect (autonomous escrow & capital efficiency).

the connectivity layer

Webhooks, Resend, Cloudflare (real-time event-driven momentum).

structural integrity

The orchestration layer. This is where high-fidelity intuition is hardened into logic. We manage the momentum cycle by applying the Bayesian pivot to risk, strategy, and biological state.

algorithmic delivery

Algorithmic Risk Logic, Proprietary Trading (extracting yield from the geometry of error).

strategic synthesis

Perplexity Pro (research velocity), Gemini 3 Flash (long-context analysis).

content sovereignty
