Ah, I'm an architect by trade, but can manage as an engineer in a pinch. I've been trying to get a portfolio together in order to break into the profession here. Not having access to my previous projects and blueprints is inconvenient, but I've been doing my best trying to read up on the styles here and the basics of engineering as they work in this world.
