'''Morten John Kromberg''' is the current CTO, and former CXO, of [[Dyalog Ltd.]] Having a decade-long history as APL consultant, followed by years CTO and as developer at Adaytum (now Cognos), he is also an active member of Dyalog's team of APL developers. | |||
== History == | |||
In 1979, Kromberg met some people who were setting up an office for [[I.P. Sharp Associates]] (IPSA) in Oslo, Norway. There, he had unlimited access to APL timesharing. During the 1980's, he attempted multiple times to become an academic, repeatedly but repeatedly ended up in paid work, implementing databases, crew scheduling systems and modelling North Sea oil production. | |||
He met [[Gitte Christensen]] via the IPSA Mailbox (also written in APL, before the Internet) and moved to the IPSA Copenhagen, Denmark, office in 1984. Upon the birth of his son in 1985, he gave up the idea of getting a degree, and learned how to install and maintain [[SHARP APL]] applications on mainframe computers — working on this until IPSA was bought by Reuters — finally leaving to form Insight Systems together with Gitte Christensen and Kim Andreasen in 1990. For a while they combined SHARP APL work with work in [[APL*PLUS]] and [[Dyalog APL]] on PCs. | He met [[Gitte Christensen]] via the IPSA Mailbox (also written in APL, before the Internet) and moved to the IPSA Copenhagen, Denmark, office in 1984.
