Top SchoolMichael Treat is a pragmatic software engineer and entrepreneur based in Bellevue, WA, blending 9 years of technical experience with a decade of hands-on business leadership.

Equally comfortable running a one-person service business, he founded and scaled Apple Windows and Gutter—owning marketing, operations, web development, and achieving strong early revenue and referral growth. A committed mentor and educator, he served as Lead TA at Code Fellows and as a Microsoft LEAP alumnus, helping onboard and train new engineers and co-founding internal DEI initiatives.
