Hello, I'm

Shannon Browne

Technology, communications, and ideas worth building.

About

I'm Shannon Browne. I bring more than 20 years of web development experience together with a background in writing, communications, and community organizing. I like making complicated things understandable and turning ideas into something people can actually use.

My work has spanned marketing agencies, the senior-living industry, and community organizations. With a BA in English/Journalism and a master's degree in Internet Systems, I'm comfortable moving between the words, the strategy, and the code.

These days, I'm exploring work that brings those skills together: digital communications, AI, nonprofit projects, and technology for animals and the people who care for them.

What I work on

Web development

More than two decades building websites, including custom WordPress themes and plugins, PHP, JavaScript, and React, with attention to accessibility and performance.

Communications and organizing

A co-founder of Indivisible Chester County and its volunteer Communications & Social Media Director, involved since 2017. My work includes websites, social media, digital organizing, and volunteer coordination.

AI and animal-focused technology

Exploring tools that support pet businesses, rescue organizations, and pet owners, with AI as part of the toolkit.

Selected projects

Projects and experiments, some still in progress.

A WordPress-based dog daycare assistant combining pet profiles, activity logs, photos, and AI-powered conversations.

Fetchly

A rescue and adoption matching concept with adoptable-dog profiles, filters, galleries, and biographies with a little personality.

Zuffler

A React Native/Expo app project for pet owners and businesses, with pet profiles, document uploads, and business directories.

A WordPress plugin in development under SB Internet.

Work with me

SB Internet is my business home for web development and WordPress work, and the name behind ActionBanner.

Away from the keyboard

I'm originally from Massachusetts and now live in southeastern Pennsylvania. Away from the keyboard, you'll find me following a genealogy trail, reading a mystery or science-fiction story, drawing, or spending time with my dogs, Zelda and Zen, and a flock of chickens.

I have a habit of collecting domains and turning stray ideas into software projects. There is usually another one underway.
