> VP of Engineering at Cognition, the applied AI lab behind Devin. Building the future of software engineering with AI.

I am VP of Engineering at [Cognition](https://cognition.ai), the applied AI lab behind [Devin](https://devin.ai). I'm focused on building the future of software engineering with AI.

Previously, I was VP of Engineering at [Xbox](https://xbox.com) and SVP of Product at [GitHub](https://github.com). Before Microsoft, I was VP of AI at [Vercel](https://vercel.com) where I created [v0.app](https://v0.app) and [AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev). I joined Vercel after they [acquired my build system startup Turborepo](https://techcrunch.com/2021/12/09/vercel-acquires-turborepo/) in late 2021. Prior to Vercel and Turborepo, I ran a software development and design studio in New York City.

I angel invest in early-stage startups that I'm passionate about. If I'm not working or [posting on X](https://x.com/jaredpalmer), I'm likely skiing on the east coast, going to concerts, or hanging with friends.

- [Your CI is now the bottleneck](https://jaredpalmer.com/blog/your-ci-is-now-the-bottleneck.md): 2026-01-05 — A 10-minute CI run was fine when it took two hours to write the code. When an agent writes it in five, that same run is most of your cycle time.
- [Leaving Vercel](https://jaredpalmer.com/blog/leaving-vercel.md): 2025-06-17 — After 4 incredible years building Turborepo, AI SDK, shadcn/ui, and v0, I have made the difficult decision to leave Vercel.
- [There are only 5,000 elite software engineers in the world](https://jaredpalmer.com/blog/there-are-only-5000-elite-software-engineers.md): 2025-01-30 — Price's law says the square root of a field does half its work. For software, that's about 5,000 people, and the number grows much more slowly than the field does.
- [Turborepo is joining Vercel](https://jaredpalmer.com/blog/joining-vercel.md): 2021-12-09 — Turborepo is joining Vercel to make the web even faster.
