Maria Andrakakou

Position: Solutions architect at Ørsted
Categories: Mentors
Location: Region Hovedstaden

Background

After studying at geoinformatics at AAU of Copenhagen, I have been a GIS/IT consultant at Atkins where I learned scripting for satellite image processing, web development and software development in python, C#, Java and angular. Later, I joined Metroselskabet as a backend developer where I got involved with BIM and explored scripting and low-code development for data management. Soon I’m joining Ørsted as a solutions architect in the IT department.

Motivation

I’m keen on sharing knowledge and supporting individuals who want to have a career within IT. It can be very chaotic to try and find where to start from. Luckily I’ve had myself good mentoring that helped me find what I want to learn. Therefore I am open to helping others with what I’ve learned in this journey so far.
