Dynamic resume in Power BI

Two years ago, I created the first version of this Power BI resume, which I shared in a video, article, and download (you can find that here: [website with tutorial] ). Since then, Power BI has evolved a lot, so I decided to revisit the report and give it an update.

 

The resume now uses several newer features and design tricks.

  1. The main color theme can be switched at the top right by using a button slicer that changes the entire report between gray, green, and yellow.
  2. The language section is built with SVGs. Before the language skills section contained 2 bar charts that I layered. Now I created an SVG (following KerKols tutorial: Progress Callout)
  3. The portfolio section no longer uses a matrix with image URLs. Instead, I use the new image feature with an action, so clicking an image takes you directly to the related tutorial on my website, with a subtle hover effect that greys the tile out.
  4. Certifications are shown with the new list slicer, inspired by PowerBIPark  who posted something (much prettier) on LinkedIn: [Post] 

This entry is both a resume and a small showcase of what is possible when you combine visuals, use some SVGs, and apply some conditional formatting.
