Conflict in Job Title and Profession

Hello everyone, I have a bit of conflicting thoughts with regards to my express entry application. I am employed and work as a Systems support analyst i.e NOC 2282 which is what i'm basing my application on.
However while filling my marriage certificate(which was done before i created an express entry profile), I had my profession written as software engineer.
I did this because although i work in systems support, my interest is in software development/Software engineering. I have a degree in computer science, and have done a couple of online courses, and worked on some personal and open source projects.
I am only working in systems/ user support because securing a good job isn't an easy task especially where i come from, and I am doing this because it is what i've been able to secure.

I understand that the Screening process for express entry can be quite thorough and i would want to avoid having any cause for raised eyebrows while my application/documents are being looked into. I want to know if this is really an issue or i am overthinking things.

NB: I am not claiming any points for anything related to software engineering, and the only reference i have for it is in my marriage certificate.

I would be happy and appreciate anyone who can shed light on this or perhaps advice me on it.

Not an issue. Your marriage certificate has no role in determining your NOC code. If you are choosing 2282 as your NOC code, make sure your letter of employment has the job duties matching to NOC code 2282
