## Notes
- Current LinkedIn role is 'Content Wrangling' at Cognition (LinkedIn org 101842393, the maker of Devin), listed as starting Jan 2022 with no end date; Cognition was founded in 2023, so the start date on the profile predates the company and is self-reported. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-solomon-1b043a2b8)
- The only work described under the Cognition role is a project to 'Reimagine "Dune" book as an interactive, chapter-based website' with progressive learning paths, layered content and atmospheric visuals; this describes an information-architecture/content project, not engineering work on Devin or Windsurf. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-solomon-1b043a2b8)
- Cognition signed a definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf (IP, product, trademark and brand) in July 2025; John Solomon's profile lists no Windsurf or Codeium role, so there is no sign they came to Cognition through that acquisition. (https://cognition.com/blog/windsurf)
- Prior role: UX Architect at Adobe, Jun 2023 to Mar 2024 (about 10 months); it overlaps the Cognition role's listed dates. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-solomon-1b043a2b8)
- Public headline says "Information Architect | Websites & Apps". (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-solomon-1b043a2b8)
- Earliest listed role: Content Strategist at UXDLAB in India, Jan to Mar 2020, a three-month stint. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-solomon-1b043a2b8)
- As an Information Architect, transforming complex ideas into intuitive, engaging digital system. I believe that the most impactful user experiences come from well-organized, easy-to-navigate structures that allow users to understand and enjoy information at their own pace; this comes from the profile summary and preserves the person's own positioning. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-solomon-1b043a2b8)
- Cognition's company profile describes it as 'Makers of Devin, the first AI software engineer' and 'an applied AI lab building end-to-end software agents', with about 637 employees. (https://www.linkedin.com/company/cognition-ai-labs)
- Previous roles include UX Architect at Adobe; Content Strategist at UXDLAB. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-solomon-1b043a2b8)
- Location is Adamawa State, Nigeria. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-solomon-1b043a2b8)
