About me
A little backstory.
Hello, I’m Brendan
I'm Brendan Bishop — a Software Engineer II living in Vancouver, WA, currently building software at Treske Precision Machining.
I grew up in Wisconsin and got hooked on making things early — first games, then tools, then the web. These days I like projects where design quality and engineering quality are treated as the same problem: fast, clear, and fun to use.
Outside of work, I’m building a game, a password manager, and a personal finance app. I enjoy trying new ideas and turning them into things people can use.
What I care about
Built with intention.
- At work
Production software
Build and maintain reliable software at Treske Precision Machining — the work that has to hold up under real daily use.
- On the web
Frontend architecture
Modern, lightweight frontends with Astro — fast by default and simple to maintain.
- In the details
Design engineering
Interfaces with performance, clarity, and a little personality — the finish work, not just the function.
