Zach Cronin grew up in southern Indiana. Upon graduating from high school in 2009 he moved to Indianapolis to begin learning about software development from the Art Institute of Indianapolis. He originally wanted to be a designer, though he learned all too quickly how terrible of a designer he was. But then, Zach discovered he had a love for building interactive software. He started by learning Javascript and PHP, then adapted those skills and logic to simple game engines and web frameworks to expand his knowledge until he began his career as a software developer. From CMS systems like WordPress to mobile apps created in Unity or HTML/Capacitor to more fully custom software developed in C# and .NET, Zach has worked with a wide variety of technologies and enjoys learning about new techniques and watching as the world of technology evolves. Outside the office, Zach is an avid gamer of both board and video games, at least when he isn’t spending time with his beloved wife, Loren, and their many pets. He also enjoys cooking for others and looking for opportunities to brighten someone’s day.
