I help federal, higher-education, and commercial teams make digital products accessible and Section 508 compliant through hands-on testing, remediation, and clear compliance documentation. 10+ years supporting federal public-health agencies with accessibility assessment, VPAT/ACR preparation, and 508 program guidance.
Available for remote, fixed-term contract, temporary, consulting, project-based, and fractional engagements.
- Accessibility testing & remediation: web, PDF/UA, Office documents, forms, e-learning, dashboards, and mobile, using both automated tooling and manual evaluation with assistive technology.
- Compliance documentation: Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) and Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) mapped to WCAG success criteria and the Revised Section 508 Standards.
- Training & program support: enabling content authors, designers, and engineers to build accessibility in from the start.
A hands-on portfolio demonstrating Section 508 testing, remediation, and automation capability. Each project has a dedicated repository.
About these projects: These are demonstration and reference implementations, built and open-sourced recently to make my approach visible as I take on independent consulting work. The repositories are new; the practices they encode — automated WCAG testing in CI/CD, VPAT/ACR workflows, PDF/UA remediation, and conformance tracking — reflect patterns I have applied across a decade of federal Section 508 engagements. Each is functional, tested, and documented.
