## Provenance Flags

Track the publication status of your work. Skills check this table before every output.
|
||
|
||
| Item | Status | Correct Framing |
|
||
|------|--------|----------------|
|
||
| All work experience | professional/employed | Owned/built/led — full-ownership verbs where you were primary developer |
|
||
| RiskAhead app | personal project (discontinued) | "Personal project, 2015–2017" — not peer-reviewed, not published |
|
||
| Master's thesis (Tongji University) | academic — completed | "Master's Thesis, Tongji University, Shanghai" |
|
||
| VICE article mention | media coverage of RiskAhead | "Featured in VICE (Germany)" — not a publication |

## KB Corrections Log
|
||
|
||
Verified errors to never re-introduce. Add entries as you catch mistakes.
|
||
|
||
| Correction | Details |
|
||
|-----------|---------|
|
||
| Degree name | B.Eng. official name: "Information and Telecommunication Technologies". M.Eng. official name: "Computer Aided Engineering" with focus in Software Design and Software Engineering. Use "Software Design & Engineering" as the focus description on resumes — more recognizable than the official programme name. |
|
||
| Education dates | B.Eng. **Oct 2009 – Oct 2012** (start 10/2009, finished 01.10.2012). M.Eng. **Apr 2012 – Oct 2013** (01.04.2012 – 01.10.2013). Programmes overlap by design — do NOT "fix" the overlap. Both at Universität der Bundeswehr München. |
|
||
| Swisscom title | Senior: Oct 2023 – Apr 2025. Staff (Engineer IV): Apr 2025 – Present. Use "Staff Data, Analytics & AI Engineer" for current role; note promotion if space allows. |
|
||
| Swisscom data domains | Fulfillment and Product Analysis — use both when describing scope of pipeline work. |
|
||
| French + Italian in Zeugnis | Swisscom Zeugnis lists French and Italian — this is HR boilerplate, NOT accurate. Do NOT include on any resume or CV. Actual languages: German (native), English (fluent), Norwegian + Russian (basic, non-professional). |
|
||
| Swisscom Security Champion | NOT an award. It is a mandatory team role (security point of contact). Dennis holds the badge for 2025/2026 only — NOT "3 consecutive years." Do not frame as an award or honor. Only include when JD requires security experience. |
|
||
| LangChain | **NEVER USED — do not list.** Crept into Apple and Infineon resume outputs as a fabrication when "custom GPTs" was reframed to fit JD vocabulary. Verified GenAI toolchain: **Kiro** (AI IDE / spec-driven dev), **VS Code + Copilot**, **LiteLLM** (LLM API gateway — created/used APIs), **custom GPTs** with fed domain knowledge. Never substitute LangChain/LangGraph/LlamaIndex for these. |

## Role Types
|
||
|
||
Define the role types you're targeting. Each gets a bundle during setup.
|
||
|
||
| Role Name | Target Employers | Tier | Bundle File |
|
||
|-----------|-----------------|------|-------------|
|
||
| Staff / Senior Data Engineer | Tech companies, scale-ups, platform teams | 1 | bundle_data_engineer.md |
|
||
| Analytics Engineer | Data-driven companies, BI/analytics teams | 2 | bundle_analytics_engineer.md |
|
||
| ML / AI Engineer | AI product companies, R&D teams | 2 | bundle_ml_ai_engineer.md |
|
||
| Data Platform / Infra | Cloud-first companies, AWS-heavy orgs | 3 | bundle_data_platform.md |
|
||
| Semiconductor Data / AI Engineer | Semiconductor manufacturers, equipment makers (Infineon, ASML, GlobalFoundries, NXP, STMicro, Bosch) | 2 | bundle_semiconductor.md |
|
||
|
||
**Tier guide:** 1 = strongest evidence, full portfolio | 2 = strong with targeted emphasis | 3 = viable with careful framing
