## Key Signals for Resume/CV
- **Technical ownership of BDD test automation** — explicitly "technische Verantwortung" (technical responsibility)
- **UIPath / RPA** — confirms LinkedIn mentions; POC developer
- **Java/J2EE** — core language of this era confirmed
- **IBM ODM evaluation** — rules engine/decision management experience (niche, useful for InsurTech/FinTech roles)
- **Internal tech evangelism** — multiple presentations (Java Community, project demos, knowledge transfer)
---
## Provenance Notes
- **"Technische Verantwortung"** for BDD = technical lead/owner for that workstream — full ownership verb appropriate
- **UIPath POC** — explicitly listed; safe to claim "Developed UIPath POC"
- **Apache Camel POC** — listed as "Einarbeit in Dispatcher POC" = participated/learned; use "Contributed to" or "Implemented POC"
- **Architecture decisions** — "Mitwirken" = contributed, not led; hedge accordingly
- **IT-Beratung seminar** (Mar 2017, from certifications) issued by same employer GDIS — consistent timeline
