| Occupation | Minister of Industry (Hurmu) · Director of the Hurmudanka Engineering Company · Gate Engineer |
A Deputy Director within the ESB Group (Apollonia) by virtue of her appointment to the directorship of the Hurmudanka Engineering Company, and fast-track candidate for the senior leadership cadres. Leila Adalani Djupvik was able to parlay her infamous family connection to Liv Dravot, to the intense disapproval of her parents, into securing a coveted apprenticeship with ESB Thermodynamics with concurrent graduate and post-graduate degree courses on quantum state computer programming at the Natopian Campus of the Euran University. Her successfully defended thesis, and published works on the impact of thermodynamics and computer programming upon the spatial and temporal nature of matter, brought her to the attention of the ESB-Hurmudanka Voluntary Association. Brought onto the staff of the Hurmudanka Engineering Company in 1698 AN, her recoding of the calibration matrices allowed the Lindström Gate and Merensk Gate to be initiated within their estimated completion window and below the contract cost penalty activation point. Already something of a wunderkind her subsequent coding work on correcting for temporal and spatial flux in synchronous gate alignment, resulted in a software patch being rolled out across the Hurmu Gate Network in 1701 AN. Her singular success finally saw her elevated, in preference to more experienced and long-serving colleagues. to the position of director of the Hurmudanka Engineering Company. While the decision resulted in one resignation, and more widespread disgruntlement, Daniyal al-Osman, in his capacity as Director of ESB Operations for Apollonia, remained steadfast in his decision. Some saw this as a statement of his confidence in her abilities and loyalty. Others speculated more darkly on the old man's interest in advancing her career.
In any event it was inevitable that when. from 2.VII.1703 onwards, the gate network was suspended due to the death of Kir Azariah Vidar during a solo transit from Huyenkula to Walstadt, Daniyal al-Osman would now, in his capacity as Prime Minister of Hurmu, call upon Leila to provide specialist technical advise and assistance to the Hurmu Constabulary as a part of their investigation into the death of the Prince of Whales.
Appointed as Secretary of the Special Commission for the Suppression of Vanicism in 1708 AN as part of the response to the Great Vanic Revolt, and promoted in 1710 AN to join the sixth cabinet of Daniyal al-Osman as Minister of Industry. Elected to the Assembly of Parlerment in 1713 AN and nominated to the post of Minister of Policing and Security in the Edasi-led coalition cabinet of Patrik Djupvik. She continued to hold this post during the cabinet of Jamshid-e Osman until the formation of the Raudsepp administration in 1719 AN.
1719 would see her active in defending the interests of the Hurmudanka Engineering Company against the efforts of Raudsepp to impose public ownership.
