## Description

1. Platform Upgrade & EOL Migration
 * Core & Security Upgrades: Upgrade legacy Drupal versions (Drupal 7/8/9) to current supported release standards (Drupal 10/11) prior to the December EOL deadline.
 * Acquia Cloud Environment: Manage and optimize hosted environments on Acquia Cloud (Dev, Stage, Prod). Execute platform and stack upgrades (e.g., PHP version bumps, Acquia CLI, BLT, Drush).
 * Code Refactoring & Deprecation Cleanup: Audit custom modules, themes, and contrib dependencies for deprecated API usages and rewrite them to meet modern Drupal coding standards.

 2. Testing, QA & Deployment
 * Automated & Visual Regression Testing: Build and run test suites (PHPUnit, Behat, Cypress, or BackstopJS) to verify frontend layouts, custom functionality, and integration points post-upgrade.
 * CI/CD Pipelines: Maintain and enhance deployment pipelines using Acquia Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI for zero-downtime releases.

 3. Knowledge Transfer & Team Mentorship
 * Upskilling & Pair Programming: Partner closely with internal non-Drupal engineers to build their technical proficiency in modern Drupal paradigms, Symfony components, and Acquia best practices.
 * Documentation & Standards: Author clear architecture guides, deployment runbooks, and coding guidelines so the internal team can seamlessly take over maintainability post-contract.
