Nick Meincken Front End Developer

I am an experienced AEM Front End Developer. I specialise in creating clean semantic code to ensure fast load times. I follow atomic design principles where possible and develop style guides to ensure consistent and rapid development when working as part of a team. I am as comfortable coding in raw HTML as I am using products such as React.

I enjoy working as part of an Agile team and have worked on some of the countries largest e-commerce sites.
