As I noted in another comment, a "proper PE type thing" exists for Software Engineering. In fact, it's an actual PE exam since 2013. It's probably higher level than you had in mind though, if you were expecting a focus m

I don't find the org to be an issue so much as my FirstInitialLastName domain. I sometimes have to repeat that FirstInitial is there, since it seems more natural to people that I would have FirstName@LastName as my email address.
