I'm the wrong type of engineer to apply - a UT portfolio of opinion and knowledge doesn't count as professional experience for some reason. However, one of the forum members might be a PEng and interested and capable - see posting below.



East Toronto

Not enough years of experience.

I find this line a bit ironic: "ability to clear communicate".
 
I thought about doing this (could be fun), the problem is (and I'd imagine other people face this issue) that in order to have the right skill set to do the work wou need to be in the development industry somehow, and you'd end up with lots of conflicts of interest.
