About Nick:

Nick has 10+ years of accessibility and front-end experience at Americaneagle.com. Starting in the front-end development space, as he grew in roles and became the Director of Front-End Development, he established further standards and best practices around accessibility. At the same time, he grew as a major advocate of accessibility at the company. As Americaneagle.com took a proactive stance to support clients in their accessibility journey, Nick shifted to expanding a dedicated accessibility practice and is currently the Director of Accessibility.

With a focus on accessibility, he has experience in research, consulting, training, auditing, and development. Furthermore, his strong skill set in front-end development and accessibility syntax, including WAI-ARIA, allows him to better assess the root causes of issues and how to best remediate them. With his team, he has also connected with disability communities and established a large accessibility survey with online communities that has gained interest from governments and industry leads. He actively shares all of his knowledge across webinars, podcasts, and events, such as the CSUN Accessibility conference.

Nick also works with various assistive technologies like screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. Additionally, with a wide connected partnership network of automated tools and services, he has worked with recognized accessibility platforms including Siteimprove, Level Access, Arc Platform, and Deque Axe tools. As a Certified Professional in Web Accessibility, Nick has also been educating and empowering clients including those in Fortune 500. He aims to make accessibility a normality rather than an afterthought to developers, site owners, and beyond.

Focused on learning from the communities we aim to effectively serve and advocate for, the Web Accessibility Survey was enhanced by the contributions of many. Ultimately, the goal of this survey was to gain actionable data that will continually improve digital accessibility for all people.
