Software Engineering
Architecture and delivery for web applications, APIs, data pipelines, and deployment infrastructure.
AGOO AI
Senior engineering judgment, carried through to implementation.
Architecture, applied AI, and product delivery for early-stage and growth-stage teams.
01 · What We Do
Services
AI Engineering
Model evaluation, retrieval systems, LLM integration, and workflow automation. The work starts with the task, the available data, and a measurable reason to use AI.
Technology Advisory
Architecture reviews, technical due diligence, build-versus-buy decisions, and fractional CTO support. Recommendations include the reasoning behind them.
Project Management
Technical programme leadership for work that crosses product, engineering, and operations. Plans, risks, decisions, and delivery remain visible.
02 · How We Engage
Engagement
Build, operate and evolve are three different commitments. Each model prices them separately, and each names the point at which the arrangement changes shape.
Founding Partner
Full ownership of the technical function, taken as equity, for a founder building without one. A named transition point converts the operating commitment instead of leaving it open.
Build and Transfer
Build to an agreed definition of done, then operations through stabilisation and a scoped handover. Documentation and runbooks are deliverables, not an afterthought at the end.
Retained Technical Partner
The engineering function, retained rather than hired. Capacity is agreed in advance, and maintenance and new work stay separate lines.
Advisory Engagement
Direction and review for a team that has engineers. Priced by the day or as a short advisory grant, with no on-call obligation attached.
03 · Product Work
Portfolio
Our product work keeps the advisory practice close to implementation. These are the systems currently being developed, tested, or deliberately parked.
Development parked
SOMFO AI
The one who handles QA.
A QA platform that turns expected behavior into a test plan, runs browser checks, and reports where observed behavior differs. Development is currently parked.
Browser and mobile QA
Behavior-based test plans
Coding-agent integration

AgenticAnanse
A workbench for mechatronics projects.
An open-core workbench for mechatronics design, build records, and operational data. It is being developed for hardware teams that need one auditable project history.
Language-assisted schematics
Offline operation
Condition monitoring
Designed in Ghana. Offline operation is a product requirement.

Built by Agoo AI
An open-core edge AI benchmark that records latency, energy, and environmental telemetry on real hardware.
Publishing and attribution for founder-led blogs. Callabash sends posts to supported channels and records attributed reads, shares, and conversions when the channel exposes them.
A mentorship platform for universities, alumni programs, and other organizations. It supports matching, shared goals, and program-level engagement records.
Application monitoring for seed-stage through Series B teams. Ruby, Node, Python, and Go SDKs feed plain-language health summaries and alerts.
04 · The Founder
Dan Brown
Founder, Agoo AI
I build software infrastructure and AI products. My fifteen years in engineering leadership include growing Edmodo's engineering organization from three people to thirty. In that work, I learned to ask what technical problem sits behind the business problem and what evidence would resolve it.
VP of Product Engineering
Mathison Technologies 2021–2024- → I led a rewrite of the platform architecture and changed the release process from semi-annual to weekly.
- → I built three cross-functional product teams comprising 21 engineers.
- → I led the team through SOC 2 attestation and ran the technical audit for its Series A.
Senior Director of Engineering
Edmodo 2017–2020- → I grew the engineering team from 3 to 30.
- → I led the migration from a PHP/Backbone monolith to React + Ruby on Rails.
- → I managed globally distributed teams across the US, India, and China.
3 → 30

05 · The Name
Agoo.
In Ghana, "Agoo" is called before entering a home or when asking a group for attention. The response is "Amee": you have been heard and may continue.
I chose the name because good technical leadership begins by stating the problem clearly and arriving prepared to discuss it.
The name reflects the confidence to announce yourself without mistaking volume for substance.
Agoo!
