Can router engineer see my internet history? (alien.top)

I had an engineer about my router to sort out my issue and he noticed that I gamed a lot during the past few days. (I rarely do but got a cool game so I did a bit lately). I just wonder how? Well I did download a game last night and last month. I am wondering, did he see just my download history (which is fine) or my internet history? I hope he didn't as it's just embarrassing :( I went on dating sites before I found a girlfriend and I'd rather him not see that also on top of that I brought my GF a sort of erotic lingerie. I'm so embarrassed. Is it possible for engineer to see what I search?

Used to work independent repair and we'd fairly regularly get people going "uhhh just don't look at XYZ 👀😰" haha. Can confirm none of us care. It's part of the job. Pointing it out will just make us look to see if it's something funny or not. OP's lucky it was just his DNS history heh.
