Hello! I'm Nicko
Since early 2000 I have been building websites and online communities. The foundation of my skill set is HTML , JavaScript, and CSS. Beyond that I spend a majority of my time helping companies track analytics and make their websites accessible (WCAG) for disabled users.

EXPERTISE
WEB ACCESSIBLITY
A primary focus of the work I do is making sure that all front end development is WCAG AA compliant. This includes implementing development safe guards and monitoring of accessibility after deployment.
WEB DEVELOPMENT
Currently heavily invested in ReactJS, Hooks, GIT, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Sass, Graphql and just about anything else that helps solve the current challenge.
WEB ANALYTICS
I have worked extensively with website analytics including Adobe Site Catalyst and Google analytics. In my current role I was the lead developer for implementing analytics via Signal Tag manager. This also included extensive work developing a JSON datalayer and page event triggers (Javascript) .
