# Experience: Software Engineer — Capgemini Deutschland GmbH
## November 2014 – May 2015 | Hamburg, Germany

### Cross-Position Section

**Career arc framing:** Capgemini was Dennis's first professional role after the Bundeswehr — a 6-month consulting engagement in the Technology Services APPS division, working on test automation for a transport logistics client. Despite its brevity, the Zeugnis rates performance as "sehr gut" (vollsten Zufriedenheit — top tier), and the employer deeply regrets departure. This role anchors the test automation thread that runs through Generali and Vizrt. Typically omitted from 2-page resumes; included in full CV for timeline completeness.

**Resume recommendation:** Omit from 2-page resume unless targeting roles where test automation breadth from earliest career adds value. Include on full CV (5-page) under early career section.
