Scott Doucet

I’m a Senior Digital Accessibility & Remediation Specialist, Lead UI/UX Designer, Video Producer and AI Solutions Engineer with more than 30 years of IT experience, including 25+ years designing and developing web applications and 16 years focused on Section 508 and WCAG compliance, and remediation. My work centers on creating digital experiences that are intuitive, fully accessible, user-focused, and designed for performance.

Over the years, I have led UI/UX design and accessibility initiatives from early strategy and planning through launch for mission-critical web applications serving state, federal, and private-sector organizations, including the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services, CDC, NIH, VA, eRA, Allstate Insurance Company, Lockheed Martin, and Leidos. My background includes user research, information architecture, accessibility-first design systems, and responsive front-end development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap, all focused on creating digital experiences that are both usable and compliant from day one.

Beyond accessibility testing and remediation, my experience also spans UI/UX and Human-Centered Design (HCD), web design and development, training videos and e-learning, and interactive media production. I also served as Key Personnel and Human-Centered Design Lead on Leidos’ CDC DMAC proposal, helping define UX governance and accessibility strategy for a program with an estimated $1.7 billion ceiling. As part of 508/WCAG/ADA testing, I support teams and proposals with VPAT/ACR documentation, accessibility remediation guidance, and practical recommendations for inclusive design.

To help students prepare for and pass the challenging DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester exam, I created 508tutorials.com, a training resource featuring more than 60 videos designed to support, not replace, the federal government’s curriculum. It is valuable not only for exam preparation, especially since users have just three attempts before needing to ask DHS to reset their access, but also for anyone who wants to build accessibility into their web design and development process.

For the past two years, I have immersed myself in the rapidly evolving world of AI, exploring everything from how large language models are trained, advanced prompt engineering, and prompt resources for accessibility testing. More recently, I have focused on creating AI agents to streamline design processes, accelerate accessibility reviews, and orchestrate complex workflows more effectively. With a strong foundation in IT, design, and video production, I also create engaging AI-generated images and video for storytelling, marketing, and visual concept development.

As AI becomes an increasingly important part of everyday life and work, my focus has remained clear: to use it as a tool that empowers people, strengthens their capabilities, and helps them produce better work more efficiently, not to replace them or diminish the value of what they do.
