Christopher J. Carnicle — Solutions Engineer, Entrepreneur and Travel Photographer

I'm a technical architect with a background in enterprise sales, software development, and entrepreneurship. I enjoy working at the intersection of technology and business: solving complex problems, building products, and turning technical ideas into real-world value.

I spent seven years as a Technical Account Manager at Texas Instruments, working alongside customer engineering teams from architecture selection through production launch. I grew four large enterprise accounts from $1.5M in 2014 to $38.5M in 2018 and finished in the top 5% of US sales.

I then spent six years building aiSports, an onchain fantasy sports platform. I wrote and deployed the smart contracts: escrow, stablecoin entry, and automated payouts across the Ethereum and Flow blockchains. The aiSports web app ran for four NBA seasons, from August 2020 through August 2026, with about 2,000 monthly active users.

Projects

aiSports — Onchain fantasy sports with stablecoin entry, escrow, and automated payouts. I built the Solidity contracts, the React app, and the REST APIs. Four NBA seasons, about 2,000 monthly active users, 5,000 NFTs, and a production ML pipeline on Vertex AI.

Caddie Vance — An iOS golf coach that remembers your game and turns range time into a plan. I built the Expo app, the Express AI gateway, and the Firestore memory layer. It improves a user's golf game with streaming chat, swing analysis, a coach profile, and AI-drafted practice sessions.

AI Generated NFTs — Using Stable Diffusion, I created 5,000 AI-generated digital collectibles on Flow. They feature unique images of 20 NBA players in 5 scenarios.

NFTickets — ETH Denver 2022. A one-week prototype for NFT ticketing on Polygon. It won $1,500 in hackathon prizes.
