Devon Rifkin

Principal Research Engineer


I love combining interesting research from a wide range of fields into powerful developer tools that anyone can use.

Recently, I was part of launching Copilot, first helping expand Copilot to other editors and then later focusing on all things data.

Prior to joining GitHub, I was co-founder and CTO of Intrinsic, a software security startup that was acquired by VMware in 2019.
