Danilo Jamaal Batson

About Me

Creator of @jamaalbuilds/ai-toolkit, a unified TypeScript SDK for building AI-powered applications. Previously led development of React Native and Next.js platforms at LunarCrush.

What I deliver:

AI-powered applications with LLMs, RAG, agents, and MCP
Production-ready React Native, Next.js, and Node.js apps
Open-source developer tools with comprehensive testing (740+ tests)
Immediate contribution — I ship code in week one

My healthcare education background instilled systematic problem-solving and attention to detail that translates directly to debugging complex systems and delivering reliable software under pressure.

Recent focus: Published @jamaalbuilds/ai-toolkit on npm — 18 modules wrapping Vercel AI SDK, LangChain, LangGraph, Langfuse, Inngest, and MCP behind one consistent API. 743 tests, 30-page documentation site, zero vendor lock-in.

Testimonials

“Danilo is an awesome teammate and a talented developer. He works hard, shows up consistently, and you can trust him to take ownership and push things across the finish line. He's collaborative with product and design, low ego, and always willing to jump in wherever the team needs help. If you're looking for someone who's talented, dependable, positive, and truly committed to the team, Danilo is that person. I'd work with him again anytime.”

Joe Vezzani Co-Founder + CEO at LunarCrush

“As a fellow developer Danilo is very easy to work with. Understands the intent even if the requirements are vague. Can pickup new skills or tech stack changes quickly to help ship product. Knows how to read and write the code AND how to utilize AI to accelerate that process correctly. He is definitely one of the newer generation of developers that can realize the benefits of AI while also being able to review and correct the outputs as if he was actually a few developers working together.”

Dan Williams CTO at LunarCrush

“I worked closely with Danilo at LunarCrush, where he was a key developer on our AI initiatives focused on social insights and intelligence. From a product perspective, what I valued most was his ability to connect technical execution with real user impact. He understood how messy social data can be and consistently helped turn that noise into clear, usable signal that actually informed how we built and shipped product. Just as importantly, he was someone I could trust to build the right things, not just ship code. Any team working on AI, data, or intelligence-driven products would be lucky to have him.”

Jonathan Farjo Chief Product Officer at LunarCrush

“It was a pleasure working with Danilo — he's the kind of developer who can map out a tricky feature in minutes and offers calm, practical solutions whenever a bug pops up. As the UI/UX designer on the team, I especially appreciated how smoothly our hand-offs went; the design-to-engineering loop felt effortless because he already thought about user flow and edge cases before I even opened Figma. He keeps the bigger picture of how a product should behave front-of-mind while he codes, and any team looking for a thoughtful, easy-to-work-with engineer will be happy to have him on board.”

Nicolas Banados Senior Product Designer at LunarCrush
