Breaking & Entering is a fast-growing advertising industry media company connecting agencies, brands, creatives, and emerging talent. I built their primary web platform, creating a content hub that supports podcasts, editorial content, and community engagement for thousands of advertising professionals following the brand.
Lead Engineer responsible for designing and developing the full web platform, including the content system, podcast integration, and frontend experience.
The Breaking & Entering team needed a flexible publishing workflow tailored to their editorial style rather than a traditional CMS.
Developed a custom CMS backed by Firestore that allowed editors to create and manage posts quickly while maintaining structured content for the frontend.
Podcast listeners needed to seamlessly continue listening while navigating the site.
Implemented a floating audio miniplayer that persists across page navigation, providing a smooth listening experience similar to modern media platforms.
The platform needed to support rapid content publishing without maintaining traditional server infrastructure.
Built a serverless backend using Firebase Cloud Functions and Firestore to handle content operations and scale automatically.
