Memberpress Development
In addressing Drug Hunter’s commitment to providing exclusive access and fostering collaboration, the implementation of the MemberPress plugin played a pivotal role in this project. The MemberPress development focused on creating a sophisticated yet user-friendly paid membership platform. This platform grants companies and individual scientists exclusive access to the latest developments in the pharmaceutical industry, aligning with Drug Hunter’s mission to empower, educate, and connect professionals in the field.
The MemberPress setup ensures a seamless user experience, allowing registered members to explore curated content, engage with research showcases, and access the scientific resource hub.

This strategic addition enhances the website’s capabilities, turning it into a dynamic space that not only disseminates knowledge but also fosters a sense of community among professionals in the pharmaceutical industry.
DevOps with Git and Bitbucket Pipelines
The DevOps infrastructure played a pivotal role in managing the project’s codebase and facilitating a seamless deployment workflow. Leveraging Git for version control and Bitbucket Pipelines for continuous integration, I established a robust DevOps pipeline. This pipeline automated the distribution of the codebase across WP Engine’s development, staging, and production environments.
The utilization of Git allowed for efficient collaboration among team members, ensuring version control integrity. Bitbucket Pipelines, integrated into the Git repository, automated the testing and deployment processes. This not only enhanced code quality but also expedited the delivery pipeline, ensuring that updates were smoothly propagated through each stage of development.
This DevOps setup not only contributed to the overall efficiency of the development process but also provided a structured and reliable framework for maintaining the integrity of the Drug Hunter project across its various environments.
