Summary
Jessica Dicarlo is a technical writer with nine years of professional experience translating complex enterprise and AI concepts into clear, audience-focused documentation. Based in Greater Pittsburgh, she has spent much of her career at IBM documenting Watson services, OpenScale, Knowledge Studio, Explorer, and InfoSphere platforms—work that blends deep domain knowledge of machine learning and data integration with practical how-to and reference materials. Skilled at shaping content strategy, she defines audiences, designs embedded assistance, and standardizes release notes and templates to improve the end-to-end user experience. Her background in creative non-fiction and an MA in Professional Writing inform a concise, reader-centered style that helps make technical products more accessible to business and technical users alike. A behind-the-scenes strength: she’s driven cross-departmental approvals and tooling adoption to streamline content workflows, not just write docs.
