How to make one author name bold in the reference section?

[inmybrain]

Have anyone tried to make your name bold in the reference?

I found one answer from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/327046/47328, which works well independently of Awesome-CV format. I wonder how I could incorporate the solution into Awesome-CV.

p.s. I want to find a solution that does not add something in the .bib file.

The problem was caused by my own declaration using \DeclareNameFormat. After removing it, it works fine. Sorry for the confusion my question may cause. It works well too with Awesome-CV style.

FYI, I added the answer below to awesome-cv.cls, and specify the author (usually your name) as well.

\def\makenamesetup{%
  \def\bibnamedelima{~}%
  \def\bibnamedelimb{ }%
  \def\bibnamedelimc{ }%
  \def\bibnamedelimd{ }%
  \def\bibnamedelimi{ }%
  \def\bibinitperiod{.}%
  \def\bibinitdelim{~}%
  \def\bibinithyphendelim{.-}}    
\newcommand*{\makename}[2]{\begingroup\makenamesetup\xdef#1{#2}\endgroup}

\newcommand*{\boldname}[3]{%
  \def\lastname{#1}%
  \def\firstname{#2}%
  \def\firstinit{#3}}
\boldname{}{}{}

% Patch new definitions
\renewcommand{\mkbibnamegiven}[1]{%
  \ifboolexpr{ ( test {\ifdefequal{\firstname}{\namepartgiven}} or test {\ifdefequal{\firstinit}{\namepartgiven}} ) and test {\ifdefequal{\lastname}{\namepartfamily}} }
  {\mkbibbold{#1}}{#1}%
}

\renewcommand{\mkbibnamefamily}[1]{%
  \ifboolexpr{ ( test {\ifdefequal{\firstname}{\namepartgiven}} or test {\ifdefequal{\firstinit}{\namepartgiven}} ) and test {\ifdefequal{\lastname}{\namepartfamily}} }
  {\mkbibbold{#1}}{#1}%
}

\boldname{Last}{First}{Initial} % Specify the author's name

How exactly did you make this work? I've tried to insert the code but is not working. My awesome-cv.cls looks something like this

\RequirePackage[ % BibLaTeX
    sorting=ydnt, % Sorts entries by year (descending order), name, title
    style=numeric,
    doi=false,
    isbn=true,
    url=false,
    eprint=false,
    backref = false, % include back references in bibliography
    maxcitenames=3, % affects only the citations in the document body
    maxbibnames=99, % affects only the bibliography, pass 99 to print all
    hyperref=true,
    block=none,
    backend=biber % {Options: bibtex, biber}
    ]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{pub.bib}
\renewcommand*\newunitpunct{}

\def\makenamesetup{%
  \def\bibnamedelima{~}%
  \def\bibnamedelimb{ }%
  \def\bibnamedelimc{ }%
  \def\bibnamedelimd{ }%
  \def\bibnamedelimi{ }%
  \def\bibinitperiod{.}%
  \def\bibinitdelim{~}%
  \def\bibinithyphendelim{.-}}    
\newcommand*{\makename}[2]{\begingroup\makenamesetup\xdef#1{#2}\endgroup}

\newcommand*{\boldname}[3]{%
  \def\lastname{#1}%
  \def\firstname{#2}%
  \def\firstinit{#3}}
\boldname{}{}{}

% Patch new definitions
\renewcommand{\mkbibnamegiven}[1]{%
  \ifboolexpr{ ( test {\ifdefequal{\firstname}{\namepartgiven}} or test {\ifdefequal{\firstinit}{\namepartgiven}} ) and test {\ifdefequal{\lastname}{\namepartfamily}} }
  {\mkbibbold{#1}}{#1}%
}

\renewcommand{\mkbibnamefamily}[1]{%
  \ifboolexpr{ ( test {\ifdefequal{\firstname}{\namepartgiven}} or test {\ifdefequal{\firstinit}{\namepartgiven}} ) and test {\ifdefequal{\lastname}{\namepartfamily}} }
  {\mkbibbold{#1}}{#1}%
}

\boldname{Bornes}{Carlos}{C.} % Specify the author's name

and the publication.tex file

\cvsubsection{Journal Articles}
\begin{refsection}
    \nocite{*}
    \printbibliography[
    heading=none, 
    sorting=ydnt
    ]
\end{refsection}

@CBornes Hello, would you please tell me more information about the log message and your environments?

@CBornes in the same .cls file there is a \DeclareNameFormat block. removing that will make it work
