Personal Statement Research the possibility of using the existing protocols (notably Ordinals and Runes on Bitcoin and STX-20 inscription method on Stacks) to implement a database system entirely ran on, powered and backed by the Blockchain and start working on a Proof of Concept (PoC). If the PoC is successful and the idea can be implemented with the current network features without any changes needed, then start writing the Whitepaper and begin converting the PoC into a proper implementation. If it's found during research that for this idea to work there would be some changes needed to be made to the network protocol, then start working on a new SIP (or BIP, depending on the network) describing the proposed changes and work with the community in making this proposal.

End Product The end product will consist of a finished White Paper describing the technology, a minimum viable product (MVP) showcasing the technology as it would be when implemented, letting users test the product and provide valuable feedback for future development and finally an Improvement Proposal or Proposals to all the blockchains that would be used as the underlying technology behind the product.

Roadmap

Appendix I am a very passionate software developer and self-described visionary. I've been programming since I was 12 years old (now I'll be 29 in June) and have experience in many different programming languages and frameworks. I am also interested in crypto, to which I first got introduced in high school around 2012-2013 and I've been keeping tabs on the development of the technology ever since.

Although I have no commercial projects in my past as I primarily worked full-time for companies as a developer, I have had many ideas that I sadly didn't try to realize, but that later became hugely successful when someone else realized them (Postmates or Uber are such ideas off the top of my head that I thought of way before they became a thing). I also worked as a freelancer on couple of crypto projects and successfully co-launched an ICO back in 2017 where I was the main developer and head of marketing. Most of my work is open source and can be found here on my GitHub profile or in my online portfolio. Apart from programming, I also have passion for digital art, producing music and editing videos.
