Hi, I’m Pratistha. I build practical AI products from messy business problems.

My journey to France started with an unexpected twist: winning a full scholarship to a top 50 global engineering school, Institut Polytechnique de Paris. Before that leap, I spent three years in Fintech across product management, data analytics, and stakeholder management.

I originally came for the education, but I completely fell in love with the country which is exactly why I decided to stay and build my career here. I completed my MSc in Data Science and Network Intelligence, and wrapped up my graduate studies with an internship at Allianz Trade, working as a data analyst within the data governance and quality wing.

Today, I focus on AI product management and product building: turning user needs into PRDs, workflows, prototypes, dashboards, and measurable outcomes. I am an official Verified n8n Creator, a Registered Product Owner, and a verified Scrum Master, combining product discovery, low-code AI systems, RAG, APIs, and data analytics to solve real operational problems.

A Few Things I Love ☕

Three words that describe me
Curious Adaptable Bubbly
What I love outside of work
🚴 Cycling around Paris: Exploring the city on two wheels, discovering hidden corners one arrondissement at a time, and catching those perfect orange sunsets framed by Haussmann architecture.
✈️ Traveling: Exploring new places, vibrant street foods, and fresh cultural perspectives. I love making the most of how easy it is to travel across Europe to experience different ways of living.
🍳 Cooking: Experimenting with different cuisines I discover on social media, always trying new recipes, and occasionally throwing in a distinct Nepali twist.
🌸 Apartment Gardening: Currently enjoying my oriental lily plant, which just bloomed and is making my entire space smell incredible.
🌊
Fun fact about me

I'm naturally drawn to anything blue or water-related: oceans, waves, skies, and even blue phone wallpapers. Maybe it's the calmness... or maybe it's just the Pisces energy. 💙♓
