Sharone Teasley
IT Project Manager & Cybersecurity Professional
I lead cross-functional teams that ship secure, high-quality technology on time. Part project manager, part security practitioner, all about turning complex problems into clear, dependable outcomes.
What I Do
A blend of delivery, security, and quality
I work at the intersection of technology and people — pairing disciplined project delivery with a security-first mindset.
Project Management
Planning, scoping, and delivery across Agile and hybrid teams — keeping stakeholders aligned and work moving from kickoff to launch.
Cybersecurity
Risk assessment, controls, and compliance-minded practices that protect data and build trust into every stage of delivery.
QA & Testing
Test strategy, defect triage, and quality gates that catch issues early and ship software teams can stand behind.
UX & Data
User-centered thinking paired with data analysis to guide decisions and turn insights into better product outcomes.

Giving back by building websites for nonprofits during 48in48 events — using technical skills to help mission-driven organizations reach the communities they serve.
Teaching & mentoring
Sharing knowledge through teaching and mentorship — helping others break into technology and grow their confidence with hands-on, approachable guidance.
Open to full-time and contract roles
Whether you need a project manager who thinks about security or a security-minded leader who ships, I'd love to talk. Let's build something dependable together.
