- Was one of three people tagged on Carahsoft's June 2026 announcement of a strategic partnership making Devin available to the Public Sector, alongside Jeff Wang and Zach Diamond.Jun 2026
- In June 2026 he announced that Cognition is a founding partner in World Wide Technology's 'Defending at the Speed of AI' cybersecurity initiative, alongside Horizon3.ai, Empirical Security and Infoblox. In that initiative Devin covers 'remediation at machine speed'.Jun 2026Excited to share that Cognition is a founding partner in WWT's "Defending at the Speed of AI" initiative. AI has rewritten the adversary playbook. Vulnerabilities discovered in hours. Phishing at scale. Intrusions with minimal human oversight. Traditional security wasn't built for this. WWT's cybersecurity depth makes them the right partner to tackle this new threat. Together with Horizon3.ai, Empirical Security, and Infoblox, the initiative covers the full loop: ✅ Prove what's exploitable ✅ Prioritize what matters ✅ Prevent upstream threats ✅ Propel remediation at machine speed (that's us) Devin generates patches and clears backlogs as fast as findings come in. Because finding vulnerabilities only matters if someone fixes them. #CyberSecurity #AI #WWT #Cognition #DefendAtTheSpeedOfAI
- Works on Strategic Partnerships (GTM Partnerships) at Cognition, the maker of Devin and Windsurf, since July 2025. He is based in Austin, Texas.Jul 2025
- Came to Cognition through its acquisition of Windsurf. He was a Partner Manager at Windsurf (Codeium) from Feb 2025 to Jul 2025, and his Cognition role starts the same month Cognition signed its definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf (July 2025).Jul 2025
- Current role is Strategic Partnerships at Cognition.
- His May 2026 post on Mythos-era security argues that Devin takes teams from 'we found this issue' to 'we have a proposed fix'. Together with the WWT and Carahsoft work.May 2026I've been in a lot of Mythos conversations recently, and at the end of the day it all boils down to scale. If a model can reason through a codebase and chain issues together, traditional security approaches won't work. With Devin, security teams can go from "we found this issue" to "we have a proposed fix". Devin doesn't replace scanners, security teams, or engineering review; it helps turns findings into fixes much faster. If AI makes exploitation cheaper, defense has to get more automated in response.

- In November 2025 he shared WWT's breakdown of Cognition's products and 'when Devin should be your solution of choice', calling WWT 'our amazing partners'. WWT looks like one of his anchor partner relationships.Nov 2025The AI engineering space is crowded and moves quickly. Most conversations miss the forest for the trees by focusing on "this versus that" solution, instead of identifying the right tool for the right problem. Thankfully, our amazing partners at World Wide Technology have cut through the noise! Check it out for a quick breakdown of Cognition's products, and when Devin should be your solution of choice!
- Cognition's Windsurf deal followed Google's $2.4B license-and-hire of Windsurf's leadership. Cognition took over Windsurf's IP, product, brand and remaining team.Jul 2025
- In July 2025, while at Windsurf, he promoted a federal webinar demoing 'COBOL modernization with our FedRAMP solution'. This was an early sign of the public-sector focus he carried into Cognition.Jul 2025One of the most common questions we get at Windsurf is how we can help with modernization projects, especially with COBOL. For the federal development community, we have an upcoming webinar where we're going to demo COBOL modernization with our FedRAMP solution. Come join us to learn more about how Windsurf supports government innovation and modernization efforts on the 4th!

It's amazing to see what Codeium's users and partner network is building with Windsurf! Jack has leaned in from day one, and I can't wait to see what's next!
After an incredible journey at Dell, it’s time for my next chapter.
