• Turn UI/UX wireframes, prototypes, and style guides into reusable front-end components, Twig templates, and design-system patterns.

• Implement English and Spanish interfaces using Drupal multilingual and translation modules with translations provided by WHD.
• Optimize front-end performance to meet the three-second page and form load standard through asset aggregation, image optimization, lazy loading, and cache-friendly markup for CloudFront and Redis.
• Add front-end tagging for DOLs Data Analytics Capability to measure page views, submission counts, and funnel abandonment without collecting personally identifiable information.
• Use DOL-provided secure AI coding tools, including Microsoft Copilot, and review generated code before committing it.
