Jennifer Galas: Personal Website
JenniferGalas.com is a personal website intended to showcase some of my recent projects and to give some insight into other aspects of my life. The two main sections are the blog and the portfolio. The blog gives me a place to host documentation of coding and other technology problems I’m working on, to follow the lives of my cacti and other succulents, and to make note of some of the weird and wonderful curiosities I come across in daily life.
The website is built with Jekyll static-site generator on Ruby, and hosted on Netlify via automatic deploy from Github. The design is a complete customization of a Gem-based theme. It is responsive, has an integrated JavaScript search feature, image galleries and lightbox viewer where applicable, dynamic maps, and syntax-highlighted code samples.
