About
Crafted with intention, built with purpose.I'm Ben Martens,
a designer and engineer based in Germany.I create digital systems that merge creativity with precision. My work sits at the intersection of design, code, and structure, where clarity and usability come first.I believe in products that are simple, fast, and deeply considered. Every detail should serve a reason, and every interface should feel inevitable, as if it couldn't have been made any other way.Currently developing ChronDB, a new kind of time-series database built around transparency, versioning, and time-travel-style data access.
