By your definition, anyone who is a full stack developer is actually a software engineer. To be honest any decent dev is interchangeable between positions in a corporation, its simply better for your career. I can create whole systems from ground to top, from design through backend and frontend with infrastructure and orchestration. Can i call myself an Engineer then ?..

If you have an university degree, validated by the Order as providing the necessary knowledge to be one, then go ahead.

> Can i call myself an Engineer then ?.. Legally, I don't know. Personally, if you might be making a lot of engineering decisions then I wouldn't object. I would probably consider a lot of full stack developers to be basically engineers. A FSD isn't necessarily making engineering decisions though. I can imagine a FSD who is expected to make all elements of a stack work together without having any real control over what composes the stack - maybe doing bugfixing, configuration and integrating new bits on demand. That wouldn't be engineering to me because there isn't a lot of control over high-level decisions.
