While continuing my journey toward gaining an understanding of the fintech field, I started learning about blockchain through a course on FutureSkills Prime platform. In the middle of the course, I received an assignment where I had to create an Algorand project repository — so I started working on my first blockchain project.

• “Engineering Blueprint Peer Review Protocol” — a decentralised science platform for civil engineering
• Anonymous, verified engineers review building blueprints and earn reputation by identifying safety flaws
• The system uses non-transferable reputation tokens — also known as soulbound tokens — to track an engineer’s historical accuracy
• Atomic transfers reward reviewers instantly when consensus is reached on a blueprint
