Women in tech

Meet women who develop digital solutions

The IT University is working to increase diversity within IT. Digital technology affects every part of society, which is why it is important that different perspectives help shape the solutions that will define our future.

At the IT University, we want to raise awareness of the opportunities within IT – including among women who may not immediately see themselves working in the field.

An IT degree opens the door to many different paths, offering the opportunity to work with everything from software and data to people and society.

Below, you can meet some of the women who have chosen the IT path. They have completed an IT degree at ITU and are now using their skills to create solutions that make a real difference in practice.

Uncovering important stories through data and investigative journalism

Meet Therese Moreau, who works as a journalist at Version2, Ingeniøren’s technology news site. Among other things, she works with technical topics and data-driven investigations, investigating and communicating complex connections.

Therese has a bachelor’s degree in Data Science from the IT University of Copenhagen. She uses her technical background to analyse data and ask critical questions, including her work uncovering the telecommunications data scandal during her student job at Politiken. She finds that the combination of programming, mathematics and data gives her a strong foundation for working with investigative journalism.

Developing data-driven solutions as a backend developer

Meet Nanna Marcher, who works as a backend developer at OOONO. Here, she helps develop solutions that process data and support an app and a device for drivers, providing alerts and information along the way.

Nanna completed both her bachelor’s degree in Software Development and her master’s degree in Computer Science at ITU. In her work, she combines in-depth focus and problem-solving with collaboration, including through pair programming. For her, software development is about creating solutions that make everyday life easier for people.

Shaping solutions with AI and software at Microsoft

Meet Julie Thorsfelt, who works as a Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft. She shares how an interest in creating things developed into a career in software development, AI and machine learning.

Julie completed both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the IT University. She began with a design-oriented bachelor’s degree and subsequently completed a master’s degree in Software Design.

Transforming user needs into digital solutions

Meet Josephine Pedersen, who works as a graduate at Visma Consulting, where she is assigned to the Danish Agency for Labour Market and Recruitment (STAR). Here, she works as a software developer on Jobnet, collaborating closely with both colleagues and the client to develop and improve digital solutions.

Josephine has a bachelor’s degree in Global Business Informatics and a master’s degree in Software Design from the ITU.

In her work, she combines the knowledge from her bachelor’s degree with the technical skills gained through her master’s degree, contributing to clarifying needs, designing solutions and developing functionality in code.

Combining elite sport with Data Science

Meet Marie-Louise Tommerup, who studies Data Science at the IT University while also playing golf at a high level. She finds that working with machine learning is similar to training in sport, where you continually test, evaluate and improve.

As part of her studies, she learns to work with and analyse data – from numbers and text to images – and to identify patterns that can be applied in practice. Data Science gives her the opportunity to work with data across a wide range of industries.

Transforming user needs into digital solutions

Meet Ida, who works as a Cloud Sales Specialist at Microsoft. She helps organisations turn new opportunities within cloud, data and AI into solutions that support their digital development. A large part of her role involves understanding customer needs and helping establish a secure foundation for future technological change.

Ida holds a bachelor's degree in Global Business Informatics from the IT University. She finds that the programme's focus on people, technology and organisations is highly relevant to her work, where she collaborates with both customers and colleagues to create value through technology.
