Could you build this?

Partial Checking a username across many sites is easy to vibe-code, as with Sherlock-style tools. A year-by-year history of public mentions back to the first one requires access to historical web archives and search indexes, which are costly or restricted and hard to assemble.

What it would actually take: Architecture would combine a username enumeration engine (async HTTP checks across hundreds of site patterns) with historical data sources such as Wayback Machine CDX APIs, commercial search APIs, and scraped archives, stored in a timeline database keyed by date and handle. The hard parts are obtaining comprehensive historical coverage at reasonable cost, deduplicating identity linkage (other names the handle used) without false positives, and respecting platform terms and privacy law. This needs data-acquisition budget and some identity-resolution expertise.
