Build me a polished GitHub portfolio repository for my Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Professional Certificate coursework. I want it to feel like a clean learning portfolio, not a messy class dump. Organize it into the 8 course sections from the certificate, covering Excel prep, Power BI basics, ETL and Power Query, data modeling, DAX, dashboards, design, deployment, capstone work, and PL 300 exam prep.

Create a strong README that explains what the certificate is, what skills I gained, what someone can find in each course folder, and how other learners can use the repo ethically for study. Include a certificate image area, Coursera and Credly links, skills badges, and a friendly networking section with my LinkedIn. Make the language professional but approachable, focused on business intelligence, data storytelling, dashboards, and analytics. If any course folders are empty, add simple placeholder READMEs that describe what should go there.
