About


Mark O'Black profile picture

Hi, I’m Mark! I work remotely as a technical writer for a cybersecurity software company based in Arlington, VA. Recently, I obtained a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in media arts and technology at Duquesne University, where my concentration was in interactive design.

In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, writing, and growing my technical communication skills. My goal is to pursue opportunities where I can blend my UX skills and technical writing experience to deliver delightful and frictionless experiences to customers when they use a company’s product or service.
