Founded in 1999, Intercarve is a custom software development agency made up of experts who take pride in solving complex problems and maintaining lasting relationships.

We are committed to helping our clients accomplish more through consultative selection, design, implementation, and ongoing technology maintenance. Our proficiency in understanding business challenges and professional competence allows us to create intuitive, insightful software applications that improve performance, boost productivity, and increase revenue.

Why We Do It

Customer Experience

We understand that many startups, entrepreneurs, and existing businesses want to build something new, but they don’t want to get left high and dry by a freelancer or an unpaid “tech co-founder” who’s moonlighting. That’s why we build custom software solutions that include long-term support to fit the exact needs and on-going requirements of your business.

Customizations

No two businesses are exactly the same. Neither are their software needs. When it comes to the core competencies of your company, off-the-shelf software can leave you needing or wanting more. At Intercarve, we create custom software solutions that model the way you do business to set you up for long-term success.

A True Partner

Many companies with existing in-house software teams need extra resources on an as-needed basis, either as long-term staff augmentation or outsourced for a project. At Intercarve, we take pride in solving hard problems and have a deep understanding of the “why” of your project and business goals. You can trust us to be a true partner who can help you make the right technological decisions with confidence.

Our Team

Brian Cohen

Founder/Owner

Brian is a software architect, full-stack web software engineer, and founder of Intercarve. He believes in the Unix philosophy — that a single piece of software should do one thing well and that software programs should work well together. Because fewer moving parts ensure fewer things go wrong, he builds simple, short, clear, modern, scalable, full life-cycle programs that other developers can easily maintain and repurpose.

Brian grew up as a competitive ski racer and holds a degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. A lifelong fan of the Mets and Rangers, he grew up in Westchester County, NY and was later a longtime resident of Boise, Idaho.  He now lives with his wife and two kids outside Albany, NY.

James Clark

Lead Software Engineering Manager

James has always enjoyed working with computers, starting out at a young age writing TI-Basic to make math programs and games for his siblings on their home computer. During his school years, James spent time with many different languages and technologies ranging from programmable calculators to computer-controlled machinery.

His first jobs were repairing and supporting computer hardware and software, setting up office networks and systems, then designing and hosting websites and online applications. He graduated with a 1st Class (with Honours) Bachelor’s Degree in Systems Engineering from Brunel University, London, in 2005. James takes pleasure in being a part of creative solutions and finds it especially rewarding to hear from others that a process was improved or a problem eliminated due to his team’s efforts.

Terence Brewer

Terence’s programming journey began in 2015, where he competed in the 13th Annual RoboRAVE International Competition in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and wrote his first application ever: a simple chatbot in Visual Basic. Afterwards he applied for and graduated from the most prestigious university in New Mexico, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science as well as the High Achievement Award.

Terence specializes in Frontend Web Development, UX Design, and JavaScript frameworks such as React. At Intercarve he will be the one creating the software the end user will be interacting with. In his free time, he plays with his Golden Retriever puppy Skyla and sleeps.
