Creating Your Own Profile:

The core of your profile resides in the following files:

setup/profile_data.yaml: This YAML file holds all the essential information about your profile:

• General Information: Name, title, bio, contact details. You need to update your profile picture in setup/images

• Experience Summary: Overall experience, milestones, career highlights.

• Skills: Skills with experience levels

• Employment: Employer details with start and end dates

• Projects: Project names, descriptions, links to repositories.

• Portfolio: Any personal projects and details. You need to add the screenshot in the setup/images folder

• Education & certifications: Degrees, majors, universities, graduation dates.

• Hobbies/Interests: Personal and professional interests. You need to add images in the setup/images folder

• Customize: Modify this file to update your name, add/remove skills, edit experience details, and more.

setup/resume.pdf:

• Replace the existing resume.pdf with your own resume document. This file will be accessible for download from your online profile in the future.

setup/config.yaml:

• Customize Sidebar:
• Modify the sidebar_icons section to control which sections appear in the sidebar navigation.
• Remove entries for sections you don’t want to display.
• Other Options:
• Adjust color palettes, section icons, and other visual elements (may require code modifications).

setup/images/:

• This folder stores images used in your profile, such as your profile picture, icons for skills, and background images. Replace or add images as needed.

Running and Customizing:

1. Update Files: Modify the files mentioned above to reflect your desired profile information and appearance.
2. Run the Application: Run streamlit run app.py again to see the updated profile.

Note:

• This guide provides a high-level overview. For more advanced customization, you may need to modify the Python code within the src directory.
• The Streamlit Profile Builder is an ongoing project, and future updates may introduce additional features and customization options.

By customizing these files, you can easily create a unique and professional online profile that effectively showcases your skills and experience.
