# Cole Stansbury > NYAE - Not Your Average Engineer πŸ‘‰innovator πŸ‘‰standard setter πŸ‘‰key contributor πŸ“ˆ Location: United States, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/colestansbury I love establishing development standards, it let's me focus more on business logic and less on lines of code that becomes deprecated before they're even released! Programming magic makes me giddy. Ever looked into how Java AOP or C# IL actually works? What about TypeScript's type discrimination unions? The lengths innovators have taken to make code more reusable, user friendly and extensible is fascinating. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Veson Nautical Jan 2024 – Present Working with Veson’s senior architects on designing and implementing backend components for domain specific framework.
