Cloudinary

A résumé tells people what you’ve done. A portfolio shows what you can actually build. The challenge? Many portfolios look polished on the surface but fall apart on performance, responsiveness, and real-world execution. In this blog, we walk through how to build a digital portfolio that’s fast, visually sharp, and optimized from the start -- the kind that immediately signals professionalism to hiring teams. Using Cloudinary to handle image and video optimization, the demo shows how to deliver crisp visuals and smooth playback without manual resizing or heavy editing workflows. If you’re trying to stand out in a crowded job market, this is worth a read. Read the blog: https://okt.to/1bLcVU

Is AI overvalued or undervalued? Cloudinary's CTO and co-founder Tal Lev-Ami weighs in and it’s hard to argue with his reasoning. His take: AI has been through this before. Expert systems, fifth-generation computing, deep learning – each wave triggered the same cycle of hype, fear, and correction. And each time, the technology settled into practical, enterprise-critical use that most of us now take for granted. Our modern digital systems are so complex, interconnected, and high-volume that relying solely on humans to design, code, tune, and maintain every component is simply not viable. That's not hype — that's just where we are. Worth a read if you're trying to cut through the noise on AI. Read here: https://okt.to/Rps9Yi

Transparency in digital media is no longer optional as generative AI becomes a standard part of the content lifecycle. Adopting open standards like C2PA is a necessary step for organizations that want to maintain accountability in their visual storytelling. Support for C2PA ensures that every generative AI transformation is automatically recorded in the digital manifest of an image. This opt in approach from ethical vendors helps users identify doctored content and combat the spread of misinformation across the web.

E-commerce in 2026 won’t be won on price or selection alone. It will be won on trust. As AI-powered visual experiences become the norm, retailers face a new balancing act: delivering highly personalized, interactive shopping journeys while maintaining transparency and consumer confidence. What we’re seeing with leading retail customers is clear: • Hyper-personalization is advancing thoughtfully. • Next-gen AR and virtual try-on are moving from novelty to expectation. • GenAI adoption will depend as much on brand policy and user trust as on the technology itself. The brands that succeed will be the ones that pair innovation with intention. Read our SVP of Marketing Wanda Cadigan’s latest perspective on the future of e-commerce here: https://okt.to/Uos3HE

For Mediacorp Pte Ltd , images are everything. They serve more than 3 million people daily across TV, radio, digital platforms, and newsletters and the volume adds up fast.
