Sounds pretty low-level. How does the technology, or database architecture help achieve the long-term vision of the company? Were you there as an engineering intern, or business?

This was more of a prototype. I believe they will be scrapping it after alpha. The current technology and database architecture is more of a testbed for us to see what needs to be fixed in the future version. I was there as a software engineer.
