Using Storyline to build portfolio site
The first detail I would suggest customising the modern player to remove the controls from your homepage main body that make it appear like a slide deck.
In some examples it becomes nested with a player within a player, one controls the other's timeline.
Stepping back, I would consider the marketing exercise from the learning deliverables. e.g. Two versions, one that is your source master where you may organise everything over the timeline as you see it as an author.
Cutting that down to a marketing product end-user version of only latest/greatest flagship samples. This may be a video guided tour rather than interaction for a person browsing who is not a real learner but just clicking around to try to find what you're promoting.
If you want the breadth of topics limit those to thumbnails with a caption overview of what the highlight of that product was, so you can have a scrolling categorised endless browse for anyone deep diving into your world.
This local creative studio is an example of this approach I have in mind:
I like when the page filter is narrow enough (I selected Virtual Reality) and you click into it, there's some useful FAQs visible in an accordian stack below the sample.

My query regarding web crawlers, who do you want to reach, and how do you anticipate they will use a browser to see you on the top page?
Currently, LinkedIn has your name as top result, clicking through, your public profile has the portfolio link visible. So via 2 top page results you get to the portfolio.
Adding portfolio more than your name prompts other pronouns of Carmel to pop up that get anyone further from finding it.
I'd be happy with your LI profile as your link page:
https://ca.linkedin.com/in/carmeltse
From that link group with portfolio as 3rd item, consider if the other two should be above or below:
Swiss School of Business and Management
Also considering the product offering of the new Articulate tools, from a superficial outsider perspective, there's a new grand canyon between what we used to make and what anyone can punch into the Frontline product. IF you've seen the Land Before Time, I feel our past portfolio may leave us on the other side of the Great Divide with the dinousaurs that didn't make it.

A lot of this is self-reflective and your example just happened to be similar timing, I'm looking at the new product suite and building new onboarding inductions that are 15yrs old, and looking at what will not go mouldy for 1-2yrs.
