Software development
Applications and APIs built properly — designed, architected and shipped by someone who has done it at scale.
Software and web consultancy
Four decades of building software, most of it on the tools other developers depend on: Microsoft, GitHub, Auth0, Netflix and MongoDB.
Data extraction & recovery
Getting data out of systems that don't want to give it up — undocumented formats, dead platforms, failing media and legacy databases.
Developer & AI tooling
Libraries, SDKs, components and internal tooling — plus the MCP servers, agent integrations and evaluation harnesses that make AI features survive production.
Web applications & sites
Designed and built end to end — customer-facing applications, product interfaces, marketing sites and documentation.

Who you'd work with
Specialists, not generalists.
Damien's four decades are in developer tooling, data recovery and platform engineering — Microsoft, GitHub, Auth0, Netflix, MongoDB. Kerry's are in making technical products explain themselves to the people who buy them.

Marketing & Design
Kerry Guard
Kerry is CEO of MKG Marketing, the B2B SaaS and tech agency she co-founded in 2011, and leads marketing and web design at Intracia. She spends most of her time on the same problem from two directions: how technical products explain themselves to the people who have to buy them.

Deep work, documented and handed over.
Software development, data extraction and recovery, developer and AI tooling, and the web applications built around them. If a problem sits outside what we do well, we say so in the first conversation.
- 01
Experience that transfers
What we build draws on four decades across Microsoft, GitHub, Auth0, Netflix and MongoDB — the tooling, identity and data platforms other developers rely on.
- 02
Built to be handed over
Everything ships documented, tested and structured so whoever maintains it next can read it without a handover call.

Remote, on UK time
We're in Guernsey: a full working day with Europe, a morning with the US East Coast. We travel when being in the room improves the work.
From the blog
What we've learned building software, and the opinions we came away with.
You don't need WordPress any more
You don't need WordPress any more
I ran WordPress for years — my own sites and clients', from cPanel to HHVM to a dedicated server. Then came the hack while I was asleep, and the content I couldn't manipulate. Why I left, and what I run instead.
Reintroducing Intracia
A new site, a clear list of the work we take on, and Intracia out in the open for the first time.
