> Many places I apply to want people who have experience in software development
> I can't put the words "software developer" on my resume
> I have written a lot of programs for my classes and in hobby projects.
It sounds like you might be selling yourself short. You might not have experience as a professional software developer, but you have experience developing software nonetheless.
Don't forget that your resume is an advertisement. You should absolutely highlight the experience and knowledge that is relevant to the position you want. People spend very little time looking at resumes, if your knowledge of databases/servers/react/linux/python isn't immediately clear in the first 6 seconds of reading, your resume will likely be discarded.
