Bill Cronin has been coding since 1998, when he first delved into it with LEGO Mindstorms. He went on to study mechanical engineering at Purdue University, where he learned numerous programming languages from Fortran to JavaScript. From there, he joined Rolls-Royce as a performance engineer monitoring aircraft engines and discovered that he could automate his work with software. He developed several of his own applications, won innovation awards, and managed software products across Rolls-Royce.
In 2014, Bill joined Devbridge Group. As the vice president of the product division, helping to turn product ideas into sustainable businesses. He came to Devbridge with the goal of making the same kind of impact he did at Rolls-Royce for other companies.
Bill is an Eagle Scout who enjoys the outdoors, especially camping and backpacking. He also stays active by running and playing soccer. His other other hobbies include deep sky astrophotography, building computers, and racing cars.

When developing a product, it’s important to build things the right way—high-quality code that’s tightly aligned to requirements. But even perfectly built software is worthless if it has no value to the end user. That’s where results-driven development comes in. We explore how to build products the right way, while making sure we're building the right products.
Defining software requirements can be messy. The traditional process is bloated and overweight. It’s time to lose that weight and get your requirements lean.
