| I was wondering as I'm still in school
What school? I'm at Seneca but I also asked UoT students and for whatever reason most students are going into web so that's the assumption or mobile. Which is fun considering that's been pushed into the Co-op program. I'm not complaining it's also pretty easy to tell from the electives as well i.e. there is only one Linux System Programming course. Even if I look at Waterloo there are courses in this but off the top of my head, only a handful at least at

Compiler design: not a big field. Most compilers that take a team are already designed.
There is a group at the IBM Toronto lab that works on their compilers. I've known a few of them, but my main connections have retired.
An interesting snapshot of this area is the annual CASCON held in October (free! with lunches!).
That's useful thanks for the heads up. I will probably try and go, have family in Markham. As for compilers I was talking gcc/clang work not older tech i.e. optimizations or other things related.

Lots of folks do that. I don't know how to find them (I haven't looked). They are often more embedded in the application area than the computer field. (It often shows in the quality of their code.)
I could imagine that networking through your school would help.
See the above reasons. I tried too, but seems I'm on my own, Nick
