About
Martin Duchev
I build reliable, maintainable web applications and care about clean architecture, practical trade-offs, and code that another engineer can pick up without friction.
Focus
Practical software that stays understandable.
Clean architecture over accidental complexity.
Practical implementations that are easy to maintain.
Interfaces that stay usable on desktop and mobile.
