Scouting report

Chess-tech engineer behind litrainer (22★)

assessed from open-source footprint

Staff
80signal

Jamari is a Jamaica-based engineer with a distinctive chess specialism — litrainer (22★) uses Chess.com's error classification to coach Lichess game mistakes, integrating Chessground and Stockfish. He's highly active and consistent (600 commits last year, consistency 95) across TypeScript and Go, and has dabbled in hackathon builds; a sharp pick for anyone wanting a builder who goes deep on a domain he loves.
