Although her official title is Finance Manager and one of her main tasks is to keep on top of accounting and getting bills paid (both incoming and outgoing), Stine also has a lot of internal projects to enhance the way we work at Dyalog Ltd. Internal communication, maturing Software Security, and process optimisation are some of the topics that take up her time.
If her last name sounds familiar, it’s because Stine is closely related to Gitte and Morten! Stine grew up in a household where APL was a part of everyday life. After ignoring APL for many years, she finally accepted a bet with Morten to give his “hobby” (APL) a try if he gave her hobby (Roleplaying) a try in return. As a result, she spent two weeks in Montreal trying to learn from one of the best teachers of APL. Although she learned a little French while staying at Dan Baronet’s house, the APL did not really stick. Morten sadly never got around to roleplaying, but he did take up Zumba many years later, so they consider the deal settled!
A few years later, while looking for something to do as a summer job, Stine took a job at Insight Systems learning APL while proofreading the new “Mastering Dyalog APL” book by Bernard Legrand and correcting data in the CRM system.
For several years Stine was hired to help run the help desk at the user meetings whenever they took place in Denmark. Her last appearance at a Dyalog user meeting (before becoming a member of Team Dyalog in 2020) was as a Zumba instructor in 2012 in Elsinore.
Stine graduated from Copenhagen Business School with a Masters degree in Business Administration and Information Management in 2016. She went to work for a small consultancy firm, where she learned a little mainstream programming and the life of consulting. She also did a lot of project management, accounting, and Business Intelligence during these years.
Stine has spent most of her life dancing around the edges of Dyalog, coming to the user meetings and chatting with customers and developers, hanging out at the office in Bramley, listening whenever Gitte and Morten discussed APL at the dinner table, and trying to learn APL, but realised that where her heart truly lies is in organising and managing things. So, while working for Dyalog Ltd feels like coming home, her ambition is not to take part in development directly, but instead to take care of all the details and bureaucracy so that the rest of our brilliant team can focus on what they truly love!
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.
…or perhaps even join the team!
