Hello, My name is Nasir Sharaf, I am currently looking for a software developer engineer role, or any adjacent role such as AI Engineering, MLOps, Data Engineering, Data Science, etc. I have a master's in computer science and roughly 4 years of experience as a developer. Prior to that I was an energy engineer for 3 years and I also have a bachelors in mechanical engineering. I'm willing to relocate for the right role in the right place, I'm willing to work hybrid or remote and I have been applying to roles outside of the Detroit area.

Edit: I'm going to be a bit vulnerable and open, which I understand is a death knell here. When I was an energy engineer, I benefited from having a mentor and being in an environment where there was steady, somewhat repetitive work so that I could really learn how to package a controls submittal, really understand energy calculations, really build muscle memory for those sorts of things.

I have not had that in my software experience, at least not consistently enough to build a strong muscle memory for software engineering and that's what I really want. I don't have much confidence in my software engineering abilities. So I would be willing to take a position below market rate if I felt that: 1) it was W2 and the position would remain for years 2) there was some connection or mentorship that would let me build this muscle memory 3) if I felt that the experience would help me gain the software engineering confidence I lack as of this moment

Thank you.
