How to Make Your Resume Standout in 2025: 9 Tips to Follow

Today’s job market is super competitive and honestly, I’ve never seen anything like that before in my life. After spending over 20 years working within different facets of technology support, I myself have found it difficult to advance or even pivot in any direction. With layoffs become as common as cheese and that’s not including hiring freezes making your resume stand out is more critical than ever. In this blog, I’m going to give you 9 tips I think you should follow in order to make your resume standout. A few of these have helped me along the way.
So, dust off your resumes and prepare to dive in to create a standout resume that grabs attention and lands interviews.
1. Clean Resume Layout
A clean, professional format can make a world of difference. Using fonts, columns, tables, rows and etc. and misconstrued how your resume is processed through the ATS. Grammatical errors, spacing and colors to name a few can quickly get your resume tossed into the reject pile.
So, use simple fonts such as Calibri, Arial, Sans Serif and Times New Roman keeping it simple. Make sure you keep the font size between 10-12pt, all margins preferable between 0.5 – 1.0 and font color black.
2. Name Your Headline
There is no right or wrong way to craft your headline, but I recommend that you keep the personal details to a minimum only added what is necessary.
Example: Name (at the top)
Next line: email address, specific location (city, state and/or country), email address and LinkedIn profile. Your phone number can be optional as you’ve input it into whichever applicant tracking system they use.
3. Craft a Compelling Summary
Think about having only 30 seconds to summarize your career that’s how you need to treat this section. It should be no more than 3-5 sentences highlighting your value and core competencies as they pertain to the role. I like to use an action word to boost my role “versatile” but it’s up to you how you decide to start.
Example: “Versatile IT professional with 7+ years of experience in technical support, network management, and system administration. Proven track record of enhancing system performance and user satisfaction through effective problem-solving and proactive maintenance. Adept at managing the end to end of service delivery to exceed resolution times.”
4. Tailor Your Resume Standout
Tailor your resume for each job application by incorporating keywords and phrases from the job description and requirements. This not only shows you’ve done your homework, but it highlights your relevant experience. I would recommend you creating a master resume, therefore, won’t have to keep tailoring a brand-new resume. Most importantly, look for words that are multiple times; fit them into but refrain from overexaggerating, copying/pasting the direct description into your resume or choosing keywords that you have no idea what they are. Jobscan is a great tool to assist you with keywords. Now, if you’ve done something similar to what it’s asking then add that. For example, if they specify having ServiceNow experience but you’ve used a similar tool emphasize that tool.
Example: The job description mentions “technical support” and “network administration,” include these keywords: “Provided comprehensive technical support and network administration for xxx end users and xxx service requests.”
5. Accomplishments = Metrics
Metrics speak volumes and it shines a light on your accomplishments so if you have them use them. Most people aren’t in roles that require using metrics to quantity what they’ve done but every role is metrics drive so record and use them. Just don’t over embellish.
Example: “Reduced helpdesk ticket resolution time by 40% through the implementation of a new ticketing system and streamlined workflows.”
6. Use Standout Action Words
Start bullet points with verbs like “accelerated,” “strategized,” or “optimized” to convey past successes.
Example: “Optimized network performance by implementing new routing protocols and monitoring systems, resulting in a 30% increase in speed and reliability.”
7. Highlight Relevant Skills
Add a skills section that showcases your most relevant and in-demand abilities, including both technical and soft skills.
Example: Technical: Active Directory, Windows Server, VPN Management, LAN/WAN – Soft: Problem-Solving, Team Collaboration, Communication
8. Check for Errors So, Proofread
Spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors can make you look unprofessional. Read your resume multiple times and use tools like Grammarly to catch errors.
9. Bonus Tip: Add Relevant Projects
I recommend you include any relevant projects such as personal websites, blog sites, and course materials you’ve created. These demonstrate your initiative, expertise, commitment to continuous learning and they can really help your resume standout from others. This can be vital when you are looking to pivot into a different role. It’s similar to utilizing transferable skills.
Example:
Sipofdetechlife (www.sipofdetechlife.com) is a blog I created several years ago to allow me to share in my tech experience but also build up my content writing skills.
By incorporating these tips, your resume will not only stand out but also tell a compelling story about your professional journey. Remember, your resume is more than just a list of jobs; it’s a reflection of your career and the value you bring to future employers.

How to Build Your First No-Code App on Thunkable
I DID IT! I could not be more proud of myself for challenging this brain of mine to accomplish something I once thought was nearly impossible. If you think you can build a no-code app on your own, well you can. I know it might sound like a job that’s that done by seasoned app developers or software engineers but thanks to no-code platforms like Thunkable, you can build a no-code app with little to no experience.
I’ll take you through my journey of how I was about to build my first no-code app, BloomYou, a mood based community social wellness app. Keep in mind: I’ve changed my app designs at least twice so this is just to give you a quick glimpse. By the end, you’ll feel inspired to start creating your own app!
Why I chose Thunkable?
- User friendly Interface: Drag and drop components
- Cross-Platform: Apps can be published on both Android and iOS within a few clicks
- No coding required: Easy for beginners
- Cost effective: Monthly subscription much more affordable than hiring a professional app developer
What was my goal?
My goal with BloomYou was to create a self care wellness app that provides:
- Mood-Based Recommendations: Personalized suggestions based on the user’s mood.
- Build your day: Easy planning for spontaneous self-care activities.
- Self-fulfillment: I want you to challenge myself and be kind!
Here’s how I did:
Step 1: Defining My “No Code” App Idea
The first step in my app-building journey was to come up with an idea, I had various iterations for what I wanted to do so I started putting pen to paper and using Figma to help create mockups and wireframes. Below are two of the most important concepts before beginning which is identify the problem you are trying to solve and how to you plan on solving it. For me:
- Problem: Many people struggle with managing their emotions and finding ways to stay positive.
- Solution: A mood-based app that offers suggestions based on how a user feels to promote mindfulness.
Step 2: Designing the App in Thunkable
Thunkable’s drag-and-drop design interface made this part fun, intuitive and doggone challenging. You have to have patience when designing especially, if you are new to the platform as their video tutorials don’t offer much. But, here’s how I structured the app:
1. Creating Screens
I created three main screens:
- Home Screen: Where users can analyze their mood and start exploring.
- Recommendations Screen: Displays mood-based suggestions and predefined tasks.
- Journal Screen: A space to write and save personal reflections.
2. Adding Components
These will be some of the most commonly used components through your app. You have the capability to resize your blocks and add images within the buttons.
- Buttons: To navigate between screens and initiate actions.
- Labels: To display prompts and messages.
- Text Inputs: For users to enter and save journal entries.
Step 3: Adding Logic with Blocks
Thunkable’s block-based coding system made it easy to set up the app’s functionality. For each one, I created variables that stored different selections and just like a puzzle piece, I connected each one to his respective output. There’s some complexity to it but once you get it then you’ll easily move through it. For the journal entries, I decided not to use Firebase storage as it was too complicated to set up so instead I opted to just have users save locally within the app. You can also store user data in Airtable.
1. Mood-Based Recommendations
- I created a variable to store the user’s selected mood.
- Each mood links to a list of tailored suggestions displayed dynamically on the Recommendations Screen.
2. Predefined Tasks
- Users can select from a set of predefined self-care activities, such as “Take a 10-minute walk” or “Listen to your favorite song.”
- These tasks refresh regularly, giving users new ideas each time they visit.
3. Journal Entries
- The Journal Screen allows users to type their thoughts and save them locally.
- Entries are stored for future reference, encouraging mindfulness and self-reflection.
Step 4: Testing and Iterating
Testing is an essential part of the process. I had a small group of close friends to test my app and provide me feedback on navigation issues, user friendliness, check for space alignment issues, grammar errors and even the color scheme. With that feedback, I made necessary changes until there were no more discrepancies. Within the Apple Developer tool, you can use an internal feature to create a test group and disseminate that way so only users that have the link can access it.
- User Feedback: I shared the app with friends who provided insights on navigation and usability.
- Bug Fixes: Addressed small issues, like ensuring saved journal entries were accessible after restarting the app.
- Design Tweaks: Made the interface cleaner and easier to navigate.
Step 5: Polishing the Final Product
Once the app was functional, I focused on improving its design. Choosing the right colors is crucial in app development as colors evoke certain emotions but its also part of your branding. Take a look at this article to learn the psychology around it.
- Color Scheme: I chose soft, pastel colors to reflect a calming and supportive theme.
- Text and Fonts: Clear, readable fonts made the app user-friendly.
- Usability Testing: Feedback from friends helped fine-tune the user experience.
What I Learned?
Building BloomYou taught me that creating an app more than just assembling features but a journey that challenges your creativity, determination, and resilience. Creativity is essential even in a world filled with countless apps made by creative individuals it takes imagination to carve out a unique concept. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed and doubted my abilities, but pushing through those feelings was crucial. The path to completing an app isn’t always straightforward as uncertainty looms because you may not get the supported you had hoped for. But, stepping out of my comfort zone and taking on a challenge made me embrace the unknown which has led to growth and new possibilities I hadn’t imagined.
This journey was about more than just building an app it was about building confidence, honing my problem-solving skills, and learning to trust in my abilities. If you’re considering starting your own project, know that every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. Staying motivated, even during tough times will make the process much more rewarding.
Remember: You Can Build a No-Code App Too!

How to Overcome the Top 11 Job Challenges for IT Professionals

The IT industry is booming yet for many jobseekers, breaking or advancing your career feels like an uphill battle.
With so much on AI driven roles and rapidly changing technologies, landing your first IT role or moving up the ladder can seem nearly impossible at times. Even experienced professionals are facing new challenges in today’s market.
I’ve worked in technology for over 20 years across roles in IT support, system administration, project management and IT service delivery. I’ve seen firsthand how fast the landscape changes and how jobseekers need to adapt. I’ve faced plenty of roadblocks myself both due to market shifts and personal mistakes. The key is persistence and smart strategy.
Here are the most common job challenges in today’s IT market and practical ways you can overcome them.
1. Unrealistic Job Requirements
Ever seen an entry-level job requiring three to five years of experience? Yep, that’s the new norm. Many Employers still list excessive qualifications making it hard for even qualified candidates to meet expectations. It now feels like you need to come out the womb with at least 3 years under your belt. Talk about moving the goalpost, even further back!
How to Overcome It:
✅ Apply anyway! What do you have to lose? Nothing! Studies show that women, in particular, tend to only apply for jobs where they meet 100% of the criteria, while men apply if they meet around 60%. If you believe you can do the job and you meet the qualifications, then go for it!
✅ Network strategically. Everyone talks about networking, and while I feel its overhyped, it works in many cases. LinkedIn should not be the only place you network as it can feel like your shouting into the void, so utilize your community within your current role, community groups on other platforms and even shared hobbies. Talk about your goals and aspirations. Just keep it natural no need to come off bragging. Attitude, good energy and positivity goes a long way.
2. AI-Driven Hiring Processes (ATS Filters)
Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to scan resumes for keywords before they ever reach a recruiter. If your resume isn’t optimized, it may get filtered out even if you’re qualified.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Create a simple, ATS-friendly resume format (no fancy graphics, tables, or columns) I recommend Microsoft Word over Canva unless you are applying for design related roles but then again keep it simple.
🔑 Use keywords from the job description and put in your resume.
✅ Avoid using only acronyms write out both “Certified Scrum Master (CSM)” and “CSM” to cover all variations. Keep in mind some acronyms mean different things.
3. Keeping up with In-demand Tech Skills
Because Technology moves so fast that its expected for companies to keep although many try for instance, if a new software or tool emerges in your field, assume that employers will eventually look for candidates who are proficient in it and recruiters will scan you resume for it.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Stay ahead of the curve. If a new tool aligns with your career goals, familiarize yourself with it early. Many platforms offer free demos. Sites like stack overflow can help you spot what’s going traction.
✅ Use free or low-cost training. Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and YouTube provide affordable ways to learn.
✅ Get hands-on experience. Contribute to open-source projects or build your own portfolio projects.
✅ Join tech communities on Facebook, reddit or discord and forums to stay ahead of industry trends.
4. Job Market Saturation
With coding bootcamps, online certifications, and self-taught developers flooding the market, competition for IT roles is tougher than ever.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Differentiate yourself. It’s nice to be well-rounded but focus on a niche like cybersecurity, DevOps, datacenter operations and cloud but don’t forget your support related roles either.
✅ Build an online presence. Share insights on LinkedIn, contribute to GitHub, or create a personal website showcasing your projects.
5. Lack of Hands-On Experience
This is biggest job challenge, I see. Real world experience in combination with degrees and certifications are gold. As the interest in tech increases so will the expectations of already have experience will be demanded as it appears on the job training is limited.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Freelance or volunteer. Many local businesses and family members are always looking for someone to help troubleshoot any technical issues from laptops to mobile devices.
✅ Look for hands-on programs. Internships might be limited to current students but if you are switching careers, you have apprenticeship programs offered through major companies such as IBM and Accenture that will provide you paid training opportunities. Then there’s return to work programs for those that have career breaks due to various factors.
6. Bias in Hiring in Tech
Diversity in tech remains a challenge. Women, people of color, and older professionals often face job challenges when applying for IT jobs.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Use inclusive job platforms like PowerToFly, AnitaB.org and Women Who Code, or attend conferences such as AfroTech and Grace Hopper.
✅ Find community. Organizations like Blacks in Technology and Tech Ladies provide mentorship and job connections.
✅ Document your success. Keep track of your projects, metrics, and impact so you can confidently showcase your value.
7. Remote Work vs. Return to Office
Remote work and return to the office are tussling it out right now. If you’re job hunting, this is the time to be intentional about your preferred work model.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Know your priorities. If remote work is a must, focus on remote-first companies like, AirBnB, Affirm and GitLab to name a few.
✅ Be Flexible. Hybrid might be the only option available.
8. Low Salaries for Entry Level tech jobs
Approximately, 18% make over 100k so don’t get caught in the hype of landing a six figure job right off the bat. Not all IT jobs pay six figures like IT support, QA testing, or help desk despite high demand.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Upskill into higher-paying specializations like cloud computing, data science, or cybersecurity.
✅ Negotiate your salary. Use sites like Glassdoor and PayScale to research market rates and aim for something within a reasonable ballpark. You don’t want to outbid yourself and lose out on a great opportunity.
9. Recruiter Ghosting & Lack of Feedback
You put in the time, complete multiple interview rounds, and then…crickets! Unfortunately, recruiter ghosting is common.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Follow up professionally. Send a polite follow-up email. If they don’t respond, move on.
✅ Request feedback. Some recruiters will share insights if you ask.
10. Over-Reliance on Certifications
Certifications alone are not a golden ticket to a job. While they help, they’re expensive, and not all certifications hold equal value!
How to Overcome It:
✅ Be strategic. Before you invest, research whether the cert is truly valued. This a mistake I made that has cost me better jobs with better pay.
✅ Pair certifications with real-world experience. See #3.
11. Clearances & Eligibility
Government and defense IT jobs often require security clearances, which can be difficult to obtain unless you already have one but some companies will sponsor for the right candidate.
How to Overcome It:
✅ Look for roles that don’t require clearance but can lead to one. Search for “ability to obtain” and roles that don’t require a clearance to maximize your options.
✅ Check for jobs that allow interim clearances. Some employers will start you with temporary (interim) clearance while your full background check is in process.
Final Thoughts: How to Stand Out in the IT Job Market
Breaking into the IT industry can be daunting and frustrating not only for entry level job seekers but career professionals but having a strategy that’s realistic and persistence is 🔑
Tailor your resume for ATS
Network and Build Relationships
Stay updated on tech trends
Gain hands-on experience through projects, volunteer and freelance work
Be Your Biggest Advocate
The tech industry is competitive, but with the right approach, you can overcome these job challenges and land the IT job you deserve. You got this!

How to Stay Motivated While Job Searching
It can be hard to stay motivated while job searching.
You’ve listened to just about all the advice you can take, from recruiters, hiring managers, former colleagues, strangers, LinkedIn influencers, and even that one family member who swears they “know someone” in HR.
Even after reading every trending article published by some of the most well-known companies or authors and bloggers, bookmarked countless LinkedIn posts from influencers who say they aren’t influencers, and maybe stumbled upon a blog post late one night from someone who really gets it.
And still, nothing.
No job offer. No callback. Just more motivational content that tells you to “keep going” “tailor your resume” or “network harder.”
I get it. You don’t need anymore advice on what you are doing wrong, if I can put a $1 in a jar for every time I’ve seen the above said. I’d pursue blogging full time. I know exactly how you feel because I have been retailoring my resume and praying for my own breakthrough.
But here’s the thing: This isn’t Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and you’re not Charlie Bucket. There’s no secret golden ticket, no magical factory tour led by Gene Wilder or Timothée Chalamet, and no Oompa Loompa chorus to sing you into success.
But what is real? It’s easy to lose energy when sending out resumes, LinkedIn connections and conducting informational interviews. But here’s how to stay motivated while job searching:
Why It’s Hard to Stay Motivated While Job Searching
This is where it gets real. The part no one glamorizes on LinkedIn or be honest about and that’s the fact that you are doing the exact opposite of what you will read below.
Then there’s the uncertainty. The “almost” and “maybe.” The jobs that ghost you after three interviews. The ones where you were so sure it was yours.
It’s taking one rejection, two rejections maybe even five rejections personal and assuming that its you when actually its the system and all that make it up. I get it its extremely hard staying motivated about job searching and feeling like you were so close to a “yes”. Then, your world feels like its collided and then you are advised to look at everything with rose colored glasses But, it isn’t about pretending it’s easy. It’s about finding meaning in the waiting and purpose in the pursuit.
The same way the Grizzlies built their legacy on hustle and heart, you’re building yours through consistency, resilience, and soul.
So how do you stay motivated when everything around you feels unstable and uncertain?
5 Strategies to Stay Focused During the Job Hunt
1. Evaluate Your Progress
Getting the job is not the only sign of movement. Did you update your resume this week? That’s progress. Did you reach out to someone in your network? Progress. Did you give yourself grace today? Major progress.
Momentum often starts with micro wins. Stack those wins and celebrate in the process!
2. Don’t Compare Yourself
Let’s get this out of the way: “I’m not a fan of the whole, “imposter syndrome” buzzword, its cringe. Truth is, I honestly didn’t know much about it until it started showing up all over social media. Like, why are we suddenly second guessing ourselves after we’ve applied for a job, aced the interview and got the job? Self-doubt doesn’t always come from within sometimes, it comes from what we see. You may feel like everyone else is moving forward while you’re stuck in place (trust me, I get it). But keep in mind, you’re seeing highlight reels not the rejection emails, the anxious nights, or the “what now?” moments. Don’t get caught up in that just steer the course and stay in your lane. Your journey isn’t delayed it’s developing.
3. Pivot with Purpose
Motivation can dwindle when it feels like you’re doing the same thing over and over with no results. Maybe it’s time to:
- Learn a new skill that aligns with your field: AI is buzzing right now or learn a ERP or CRM system maybe try Python. There’s so many new tech trends buzzing!
- Revise your story on LinkedIn basically consider reinventing yourself
- Try contracting or freelance work with sites like Toptal, Fiverr and Upwork.
- Launch that blog, podcast, or any creative outlet you’ve been sitting on.
Motion breeds motivation. Don’t be afraid to pivot it’s not failure, it’s flexibility.
4. Build a Support Bubble
Whether it’s a Slack group, a close friend, a therapist, or your own curated playlist of “I Got This” anthems; you need people and practices that remind you of your worth beyond your job title.
Isolation breeds discouragement. Connection fuels hope.
5. Remember: Timing Is Not Rejection
Just like Charlie Bucket, you will have your moment. But it may not look like a shiny ticket, it might look like a small opportunity with a startup, a connection that leads to a contract, or a “hey, are you still looking?” message from someone you helped months ago.
Things take time. Dreams take longer.
You’re not behind. You’re becoming.
Keep building, applying and showing up authentically, creatively, and bravely.
Because when the opportunity comes (and it will), you’ll be ready not because of luck, but because you endured.
And that, my friend, is real magic.

Top 10 Technology Trends for 2025

We are halfway through 2025, this year has started off shaping the landscape of our future with 10 technology trends. This year alone, we heard trends new and old.
Let’s Look at these top 10 technology trends:
Agentic AI
“AI that gets stuff done for you without needing constant instructions.”
This AI acts on your behalf by completing tasks autonomously think of scheduling, coding, shopping. Currently, OpenAI (Auto-GPT, GPT agents), Adept, Rewind.ai are the industry leaders with SaaS, developer tools and productivity industries seeing the biggest boom as it revolutionizes how work gets done! What impact will that have on you? You’ll spend less time on repetitive tasks.
Generative Video AI
“Type up a script and watch AI turn it into a full video and you don’t need a camera.”
Think of creating videos from text, sketches and auto inputs right now, OpenAI Sora, Google Veo and Runway are the industry leaders with media, education, marketing and entertaining seeing the biggest boom as its a new creative frontier with a huge commercial value. For you aspiring content creators, you can make content easy with Hollywood tools at your fingertips.
Disinformation Security

“Technology that help spot fake news, deepfakes and AI lies online.”

With the rise of “alternative facts” we can definitely use a tool that can detect and counter deepfakes, AI generated content and fake news. This will probably make many recruiters and hiring managers excited but also put a pickle in generative AI solutions products. Right now, Microsoft Content Credentials and Adobe Content Authenticity Initiative are industry leaders with news, social media, government and cybersecurity seeing the potential for a slow bloom as misinformation grows it will gain importance. What this will do for you? Well, it will help you avoid scams, fake political content and misinformation. And, keep you family safer online.

Spatial Computing & XR (Extended Reality)

Augmented reality that blends digital stuff into your real world view.”

Interaction with digital content in physical space using AR/VR hardware. We can thank Apple, Meta and Magic Leap for developing the gadgets to make this a reality; however, although big potential but there isn’t quite an app that can knock this one out the park! So the industries that would benefit the most from this such as retail, gaming, health and architecture will have to wait a bit longer. However, it this does become a reality it would make shopping, working out, learning or designing your home so much easier.

Post-Quantum Cryptography

Next-gen encryption to keep your data safe from future supercomputers.”

Cryptographic methods resistant to quantum computer attacks. Leading this new anti-future of supercomputers are IBM, NIST and Microsoft Azure Quantum although, we’ll have to wait on it but this will definitely boom in the Finance, defense, infrastructure and cloud security as its impact will be with online banking, medical records and personal data. I believe the goal is to better protect behind the scenes so you can sleep at night.

Synthetic Media Detection

“Tools that tell you if something was made by AI or a real human.”

AI that identifies whether content was generated or manipulated by other AI. DeepMedia, Hive, Truepic are leading this trend with the impact relative to law, journalism and social media platforms. This a very niche area as it specifically will relax in the legal and regulatory spaces. But for you, you’ll be able to trust what you see online more and it helps you avoid fake job offers, celebrity scams and misleading AI content.

AI Content Governance Tools

Rules and tracking systems that make sure AI is used responsibly.”

This AI is sort of similar to the overall mantra of cybersecurity as its systems work to track, audit and enforce AI outputs. Scale AI, Anthropic, OpenAI + EU/US regulators are leading with the focus industries with the most impact are: Legal, enterprise AI and education As you know anything governance related has to be policy driven and the growing need will be there as enterprise AI scales up. How will this affect you? The AI apps you use at work or home will be safer, more reliable and less likely to do weird or harmful things.

Quantum Computing

“Super powerful computers that can solve problems regular ones can’t.”

Computers that process data using quantum bits (qubits) to solve problems standard computers can’t do. Let’s leave this trend to the experts over at IBM, Google Quantum AI and IonQ. They are still researching this trend but as of right now, it looks like a bust as the industries of impact would be pharma, logistics, encryption and finance. However, later down the line it could lead to better medicines, climate solutions and faster innovations that affect your overall health.

Low-Code / No-Code Tools

“App builders you can use without writing much or any code.”

Tools allowing users to build apps with minimal coding. Now this is something I can get on board with in addition to the Extended Reality trend. With industry leaders such as OutSystems, Microsoft Power Platform and Webflow they are looking to make things much accessible and convenient for SMBs, internal IT, startups when the time comes. But as for right now, it appears to be plateau as this is great for fast builds but limited for complex systems and capabilities. How this has impacted me? I built an app called BloomYou thanks to Thunkable so it can save you time and help you launch a side project without being technical.

Decentralized Web (Web3)

“A new version of the internet where you control your data, not big tech.”

A blockchain-based internet model focused on user control, tokenized assets and privacy. The finance, digital identity and creator economy with companies such as Ethereum Foundation, Uniswap and IPFS would see the biggest impact. Although, the vision is there its a bust as real use cases just aren’t there. If they ever get the opportunity, this will allow you to have more control over your identity, digital money and privacy but only if the tech is user friendly and widely adopted.

AI has become the most talked about and implemented tech innovation both for its adaptation and adaptability. The technology landscape is so vast yet unpredictable so we must stay innovative and ahead of the curve.

Which one of these 10 technology trends for 2025 are you anticipating?
