Daniel's Portfolio Theme

This portfolio is optimized for researchers and those who strive for a minimal, file-based content management. The complete site's content is based on a json/yaml file per section (e.g., contact.json, projects.json, publications.json, talks.json, and teaching.json) as well as the pages _config.yml information.
