Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamia Drappeau is an ex-astrophysicist turned data scientist and founder with nine years of experience helping businesses turn complex data into actionable products and strategy. She combines a PhD-honed ability to tackle ambiguous, physics-scale problems with hands-on full-stack machine learning and big data engineering (Python, Spark, Hadoop, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes). As a freelancer and Toptal contributor she has built production ML services and a predictive incident probability app, led big-data platform efforts for telecom HR, and prototyped monitoring tools for banking IT. She also co-founded a preventive digital archaeology startup and regularly teaches tailored data analytics and deep learning trainings to upskill teams. Active in the Toulouse data community and a volunteer math/physics teacher, she brings both technical depth and clear communication to bridge research, engineering, and business. A less obvious strength: her background in accreting black hole analysis trained her to spot subtle temporal and spectral patterns that translate directly to time-series and anomaly detection problems in industry.
