Aarthi Thangaraj

I’m a Senior Project Manager with 11+ years of experience delivering web and mobile products for US and international clients. I bring a proven track record leading distributed cross-functional teams and driving outcomes with strong stakeholder communication and financial accountability.

I own the full project life cycle from discovery to deployment and post-release, including budget & margin ownership. I’ve managed fixed-cost and T&M engagements ($5K–$50K), improving margins through disciplined scope governance and structured Agile delivery.

In remote-first environments, I act as the primary stakeholder interface across time zones (EST/PST overlap). I oversee Agile sprint planning, milestone tracking, executive reporting, and release coordination, while leading risk management and keeping delivery execution on track.

I’ve delivered 25+ projects with strong client retention and repeat engagements, and I’ve scaled execution by mentoring 3 Project Managers to strengthen estimation accuracy and delivery discipline. I also used AI-driven automation to reduce reporting effort by 150+ hours annually, supported operational recovery for a malware-impacted WooCommerce system within one week, and successfully executed a $48K fixed-cost engagement at $15K internal cost through structured scope control.
