I'm Srikanth Bandi — an Assistant Vice President & Technical Product Owner at Citi Canada, based in Toronto, Ontario. With over a decade in Banking and Financial Services, I specialize in the intersection of complex technology and financial operations.

My expertise spans core banking platforms (Flexcube, Finxact, Fiserv DNA), system architecture, and cross-functional leadership. I've delivered projects across North America, Latin America, Central America, Africa, and Asia Pacific — collaborating with multinational banks and technology teams worldwide.

I bring a rare combination of technical depth and business acumen — from configuring web services and developing custom reports to defining product roadmaps and leading large-scale go-live activities.
