Hi, I'm Carmen Borrelli
I spent 15 years building custom WordPress websites. Now I help small businesses automate their workflows and integrate AI.
My Story
I started building websites in 2010. Back then, every project was WordPress — custom themes, WooCommerce stores, plugin development, complex directory platforms. Over 15 years I touched every layer of the stack: PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, server configuration, performance optimization. I built sites for small businesses, startups, and agencies, learning what actually moves the needle for people trying to grow.
Somewhere along the way, I realized the biggest problem wasn't the website itself. It was everything around it — the hours spent on repetitive tasks, the leads falling through the cracks, the manual processes that kept business owners chained to their desks. A great website doesn't matter if nobody has time to follow up on the leads it generates.
When AI went from a research curiosity to a practical tool, I went all in. Not on demos or hype — on building real systems. Autonomous AI agents that answer phones and book appointments. Multi-agent workflows that handle content creation end to end. RAG pipelines that give businesses intelligent chatbots trained on their own data. Automation systems that replace hours of manual work every week.
Today I run Songbird Digital, where I combine deep web development experience with modern AI tooling. My specialty is turning large language models into working systems — not proofs of concept, but production tools that save real time and generate real revenue for small businesses.
The Journey
15 years of building, learning, and evolving.
Custom WordPress Development
Started building custom WordPress sites, plugins, and WooCommerce stores. Learned every layer of the stack — PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, server configuration.
Complex Web Applications
Took on bigger challenges — directory sites, custom themes, multi-vendor ecommerce, and database-driven platforms. Deep specialization in PHP and JavaScript.
Modern Full-Stack
Moved into React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Built production SaaS products with cloud infrastructure, API-first architecture, and modern deployment pipelines.
AI Systems & Automation
Combined 15 years of development experience with AI. Building autonomous agents, agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and smart automation for small businesses.

How I Work
I build things that work today, not theoretical solutions. Every system ships to production and delivers measurable results.
No black boxes. You own your code, your data, and your systems. I explain what I build and why.
No account managers or endless meetings. You work directly with the person building your product. Fast execution, clear communication.
