This PR adds a concrete proposal for a customized GitHub profile that reflects Harald Binkle’s public work, interests, and branding. The draft is aimed at a modern, informative profile and incorporates the existing logo plus publicly visible speaking, blog, and project signals.

  • Profile README proposal

    • adds PROFILE-README-PROPOSAL.md as a ready-to-adapt draft for the future profile repository
    • structures the profile around a concise hero, current focus, featured work, speaking/community, topic badges, and public links
  • Content shaping

    • aligns the bio with Harald’s visible public profile: Principal Consultant, Microsoft MVP, speaker, trainer
    • emphasizes recurring themes from public sources: GitHub Copilot, AI agents, MCP, React, TypeScript, DevOps, Playwright, frontend architecture
  • Branding and discoverability

    • uses Harald’s existing logo asset via an absolute URL so the proposal renders correctly outside this repo
    • includes direct links to blog, LinkedIn, Sessionize, presentations, and MVP profile
    • adds optional GitHub stats widgets to support a more modern profile layout
  • Featured work selection

    • highlights representative repositories (visuals-mcp, presentations, harrybin.github.io, react-common)
    • frames each repo by what it signals rather than listing repositories without context

Example excerpt from the proposed profile:

## Current focus

- 🤖 AI-assisted software delivery with GitHub Copilot and agent-based workflows
- 🧩 MCP tooling and interactive developer experiences
- ⚛️ React, TypeScript and scalable frontend architecture
- ☁️ Cloud applications and microservice-based systems
- 🧪 Test automation with Playwright
- 🎤 Talks, workshops, coaching and knowledge sharing

Done in commit docs: rename proposal to README.md, reorder badges, mark react-common as outdating — GitHub Copilot and MCP now lead the badge row, with TypeScript and React following.

@copilot name the file that a merge will activate it.

The file is now named README.md. To activate it as your GitHub profile README, place it in a repository named exactly harrybin (i.e., github.com/harrybin/harrybin) — GitHub automatically displays README.md from that repo as your profile page.
