Hemanthkumar Habbu

I’m a Product Owner with over 15 years of experience in banking, FinCrime, and IT, driving end-to-end product delivery across API platforms, Governance Risk & Compliance, and financial crime technology. I translate complex regulatory and business requirements into agile roadmaps and partner closely with Engineering, Risk, Compliance, and Data Science to deliver secure, scalable, audit-ready solutions.

In my most recent role, I owned the end-to-end roadmap and backlog for a bank’s API Developer Portal, improving developer experience with interactive documentation and onboarding (including Swagger/OpenAPI, OAuth 2.0/API keys, Strivacity, and Microsoft Entra ID). I’ve grown adoption by increasing registered developer accounts by 60% and reducing average onboarding time from 5 days to 2 days, and I’ve also delivered measurable impact across GRC and Financial Crime—reducing SOX manual risk-assessment effort by 35%, lowering false positives by 30% through model tuning, and cutting financial crime case resolution time by 40% via workflow automation and optimization.
