Jared Palmer is vice president of engineering at Cognition, the company behind the Devin software agent. He founded Turborepo and created developer tools including Formik, v0 and the AI SDK.[1]
Start with Formik →Career
Vercel acquired Palmer’s Turborepo startup in late 2021. He subsequently became Vercel’s VP of AI, where his biography credits him with creating v0 and the AI SDK. He later held product and engineering leadership positions at GitHub and Xbox before joining Cognition. The personal biography supplies that sequence without exact dates for each title, so the important distinction is between the acquired startup, the platform teams and his present engineering role.[1]
Contributions
Tools that remove repeated application work
Palmer’s open-source work includes Formik, which helps React developers build forms, and Turborepo, a build system for JavaScript and TypeScript projects. A form library handles recurring work around input values and validation. A build system coordinates the tasks needed to produce and check software. These projects address different parts of the same practical problem: letting developers spend less time rebuilding support machinery around an application.[2][3]
Interfaces for AI applications
The AI SDK is an open-source TypeScript toolkit for building AI applications and agents. v0 is a product that uses AI to help create software. Palmer’s current work at Cognition continues the focus on software engineering with AI, while his earlier projects supply practical examples of both developer-facing libraries and end-user products.[1][3]

Tools
Start here
Formik
github.comA React library for building forms and managing their recurring state and validation work.
Start with Formik if you know React: it makes Palmer’s approach to developer tooling concrete in one familiar application task. Move to Turborepo for build workflows or AI SDK for model-backed applications.
