Prior to acting, Sharif was more involved in the creative departments of the film where he served as a foley artist and a boom operator in Aishath Rishmy's romantic film ''Bos'' (2017).

Aishath Maahaa reviewing from ''Dho?'' praised the acting performance of the newcomers including Sharif. This was followed by Abdulla Muaz-directed segment ''Ruqyah'' from the anthology short film television series '' Hatharu Manzaru'' where he played the role of an exorcist. He then he collaborated with Ilyas Waheed for a four-part anthology web series '' Mazloom'' which was considered a "benchmark project" in the industry. Ahmed Rasheed from MuniAvas, reviewing its first chapter titled "Mazloom" praised the performance of Sharif for portraying the "innocent and caring" friend in its most realistic manner. He also starred in its second chapter titled "Zarrook" by playing the role of a father of a young child connecting with an imaginary friend.

In 2022, Sharif appeared in four web series, all of which received positive reviews from the critics. The year marks his second collaboration with Ilyas Waheed for his horror thriller anthology web series '' Biruveri Vaahaka'' as Rocky, a traumatized survivor of a sea incident. He then appeared in Ibrahim Wisan-directed '' Gudhan'' which follows the lives of seven strangers who hide inside a go-down in the neighborhood to flee an unknown police raid at a massage parlor. In the series he played the role of a Bangladeshi worker who forces his subordinate into sex slavery. This was followed by Moomin Fuad's romantic crime web series ''Netheemey'' starring alongside Nathasha Jaleel and Washiya Mohamed. In the series, he play the role of an irresponsible, spoilt kid who moves away from his family with his wife only to reunite with his ex-lover living in the opposite apartment.
