GI Connect is a members-only platform for gastrointestinal specialists — a place for clinicians to connect, share knowledge and reach clinical resources without the noise of a general medical network. Everything sits behind authentication: the site opens on sign-in, with registration as the only other public route.
The application is built on Laravel 10 with PHP 8.2 and Blade templating over MySQL, using Laravel's session and CSRF handling for the authenticated surface. Because the entire product is gated, the authentication layer carries more weight than usual — registration approval, session lifetime, password recovery and persistent sign-in all have to be right before any feature matters.
The membership model is the interesting constraint: a professional network for a single specialty only works if the members really are specialists, which makes verification part of the product rather than an admin afterthought.

My role
Full-stack developer on the platform.

- Implemented Blade templates and the Tailwind-based interface
- Modelled members, resources and access rules in MySQL
- Handled session security, CSRF protection and role-gated routes
Challenges & solutions
A gated product has no shop window. With everything behind login, the sign-in page has to carry the entire value proposition, so it doubles as the marketing surface rather than being a bare form.
Verification without friction. Requiring proof of specialty protects the community but kills sign-ups if it blocks registration. Approval happens after account creation, so a clinician can register in a minute and be verified in the background.
