### 👋 About Me I'm Prateek Shrivastava — a data science leader with 12+ years of experience applying AI and analytics to solve complex problems across supply chain, marketing, and enterprise systems. I currently lead advanced analytics initiatives at Cummins, where I build predictive models and intelligent systems to drive operational impact and digital transformation. My previous roles at 84.51° (Kroger) and Vantiv have shaped a career grounded in measurable results and scalable solutions. I grew up in a small town in central India — the kind of place where the monsoon carried memories more than material things. That curiosity led me to mathematics, a degree in computer engineering, and eventually a master's in Information Systems in the U.S. Since then, I’ve worked across Fortune 500 companies, contributed to marketing, retail, and supply chain analytics, and spoken at INFORMS and other industry forums. My work has been featured on platforms like *InformationWeek*, *MarketingSherpa*, and podcasts like *The Intelligent Leader*. Outside of work, I’m a FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) enthusiast, a vegetarian, and someone who values kindness and curiosity. I'm also exploring writing through a Substack on technology, economics, and society.
