Morten is responsible for understanding user requirements and providing input to decisions about the technologies that Dyalog Ltd needs to support. This includes selecting the operating systems and hardware platforms Dyalog needs to run on, and the data formats, communication technologies, tools, stacks, and frameworks that the APL system needs to be connected to. In addition, Morten is involved in design and scheduling of APL language enhancements, performance tuning, and other improvements to the language.
Morten has the first year of a Maths and Computer Science degree from three different Universities and blames his inability to complete any form of degree on having discovered APL before leaving High School in 1980 and being offered money to write code for customers of I.P.Sharp Associates a couple of years later.
Morten grew up on SHARP APL but thinks he must have worked with 20 different APL interpreters during his career as an APL consultant. His speciality is migrating code between APL systems and across hardware and software platforms, and his hobby is tuning APL code.
Before he joined Dyalog Ltd as CTO in 2005, Morten spent 15 years working almost exclusively with Dyalog APL, both as a consultant for corporations using Dyalog and as the CTO of Adaytum Software , developing a “shrink-wrapped” Financial Planning package that used Dyalog APL as the core technology. During his time as a Dyalog user he collected many ideas for technical direction, some of which made it into the product. He still likes to make himself available for APL consulting from time to time, to stay current.
We promote a culture where innovation, fun, pride, and acceptance is part of our everyday life. We come from a variety of backgrounds, and we learn from each other’s diversity.
