Nope, I'm a 'traditional engineer' in the sense I have a Mechanical engineering background by education and formative work experience.

The term engineer doesn't matter really, software developer / programmer is just fine.

Only time it does is if you are a professional engineer/ chartered engineer, who needs to sign-off a bridge design or something safety critical, then you need a 'real engineer'. Super rare outside of construction and aviation.
