Despite your transgression in that one thread, perhaps there is hope for you after all. Dolts will rush in and save a liitle old Lady from peril, not realizing that if they do it before she changes her will they will have affected history, their own history if any.
I went deep, I worked very little at work, I was almost a recluse as I wrote a story. I delved into the subject feet first so to speak, and it was not five years, it was three hundred and ninety six. It has been a while, but the set and setting began in about 1999 or so. By the chance discovery of machines left either by a previous race on Earth or an extraterrestrial race, the main character was in suspended animation for that amount of time. He excelled at the new sciences, and became important and famous in a near Utopian society of the future in the USA, shaped by a tumultuous future that was now his past. His new future began in the year 2395.
It was published, but relating to your point, what happened is he was recruited by some who had discovered and were using time travel illegally. (if you knew me you would know why it is written in first person) He is the traveler, since he can't meet himself or his relatives during his incursions to the past he is chosen to do exactly what you put forth. The Group Of Five, he and four others engineered trips to the past to throw certain infiormation to the past, to the other members and others, detailing technology that was in the future to them. The GOF became a superpower worldwide, yet noone knew, because everybody kept their mouth shut. These five peole could take over the planet in a matter of hours, but nobody knew because they simply were not power hungry megalomaniacs. However the US and it's new protectorates were absolutely untouchable. They largely refrained from influencing politics because with the superiority, none of it really mattered.
One day he was alone, both of his Wives (legal) were out and about and he thought of his old GF in the past, and thinking about how full his life had become, thought that he owed her at least a goodbye, like an explaination tht he could not ever come back to her. His life was full, two beautiful and kinky Wives and four kids toboot. They were doing very well. He went back in time and told her so, so she up and married her boyfriend. Well he wound up beating her to within an inch of her life and disabling her permanently. In the original timeline she would not have done that, awaiting his return.
Phil was the foremost expert in the world on time travel and it's ramifications and actually did function as a "time cop". His special equipment detected the disturbance in the timeline and he undid the damage.
All of the members of the GOF realized that the advanced technology could not be revealed, they did fantastic things, like achieved matter passing through matter, total invincibility and a few other things. One of the Wives commented that he had advanced technology by fifty years, later he revealed to her that he had advanced it by about five hundred years.
I never intended to make any money off of it, and there is so much kink in it, it is ridiculous, especially when you consider advanced technology. I mean after a few years a sex change operation (performed by the devices) could be undone with the flip of a switch. That is how avanced it got. But the law of nature, that the present determines the future held true, there were certain things that you just don't do.
It is a hard read, and lonely. My critics have said that it lacks feeling, emotion. Fukum. If you care to read it, beware the preface is longish, but necessary. The link :

My character was as lawless as they come, but with compasion and thought. The main mistake was when he wanted to comfort a loved one from over four hunderd years ago, a plan which backfired on him in spades.
It is full of grammatical erors and whatnot, but I let it stand. It was a long time ago.
