Hi Leo! First step is to go through all your bullet points under each project and standardize them regarding:

  1. capitalization (Sentence case vs. Title Case vs. all lowercase; I recommend Sentence case because it's the easiest to read and looks natural but not informal)
  2. verb tense (build vs building vs built; I'd probably use past tense for completed projects)

Here are a few bolded errors - let me know if they're not clear. I'll check the rest once you've updated your bullets.

Since 2012, BrightDigit is focused on developing application in the Apple space such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and the Mac.

  • Marketing business to potential clients through publications, videos, and podcasts on Apple-centric topics focus for developers as well as business running Apple hardware
